Easy Slow Cooker French Onion Roast And Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Place liner in slow cooker, if using. Place roast in slow cooker and season each side with your preferred seasoning blend. Set slow cooker on high.
• Add carrots and onions around the roast. Place lid on cooker. * NOTE: Omit the carrots if you don't care for carrot flavor in your gravy.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all purpose flour and one can of onion soup until no large lumps of flour remain; add remaining can of onion soup, whisking until well combined.
• Pour soup mixture over roast and vegetables in slow cooker.
• Place whole peeled potatoes around roast (on top of carrots and onions.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place lid on slow cooker. Cook on high for about 5-6 hours, or on low for 8 hours (times are approximate and depends on size of roast and how hot your slow cooker gets.)
• Serve hot, preferably with warm dinner rolls to sop up the gravy. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Season the roast with salt and pepper to taste. Brown on all sides in a large skillet over high heat, about 4 minutes per side.
• Place the roast in the slow cooker and add the soup mix, water, carrots, onion, potatoes, and celery.
• Cover and cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

Steps:

• 1. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides in the hot oil a deep skillet (or in the Cuisinart 3-in-1 4-Quart Cooker-I set mine at 375° when browning). Transfer the meat to a plate.
• 2. Reduce the heat to medium. If the pan is dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and carrot; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes; add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Add the wine, beef broth, Balsamic vinegar, and herbes de Provence. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. (If doing this step on the stovetop, pour the liquid into the cooker at this point.).
• 3. Place the browned meat in the cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours OR on high for 5 hours or until the meat is tender.
• 4. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Set the cooker on 375° (or transfer the cooking liquids to a clean saucepan). Work the butter into the flour to form a paste (a beurre manié). Bring the liquid to boil; whisk in the beurre manié bit by bit until sauce is as thick as you like. Serve sauce with meat.
