Killer Crock Pot Beef Roast

Happy Holidays!!! Sunday is not usually the day for new recipe release on Gourmet Persuasian. But today is a special Sunday as it’s the weekend right before Christmas. Therefore, I have decided to present a killer main dish recipe to you as a special arrangement on the site for the holiday.

You might have noticed that I have been kind of obsessed with crock pot goodies recently. Here’s why –

• Cooking preparation is minimum to none.
• All of sudden, your cooking skills get improved significantly because you are able to handle a whole animal without a blink.

• Hands off cooking is awesome! Cook when you are asleep or at work.
• You realize that you are hanging out with your family and friends in the living room without worrying about the most important dish for dinner.
• The result? Absolutely fantastic!

Aren’t these reasons good enough for falling love with slow cooking? I say it’s so damn stress-freely good, especially during holidays!

So for this holiday, I would love you to be able to spend more time with your family and still bring a ridiculously amazing main dish on the table. No matter what, it’s always good to have options and here’s a great one.

Set a beef roast in your crock pot and allow it to dedicatedly absorb all the flavors from the finest combined seasonings and herbs through out 9 hours of slow cooking with only 5-minute preparation time. Oh my!

If you like veggies to pair with your meat like I always do, spend an additional 5 minutes to do the chopping and you are all set.

It’s fork tender.

It tastes meaty and full of flavor at the same time.

It’s to die for.

As I would like to call it – KILLER!

For leftovers, dump some cooked noodles in it and here you have a hearty beef noodle soup.

That’s it for today and 2013! I am going to take a short break from the site for the holiday. THANK YOU for your all time support!

I wish you a great holiday and a prosperous new year of 2014 ahead! Will talk to you soon in January 2014 with more recipes and goodies! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Cheers ~

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix gravy mix, ranch dressing, Italian salad dressing, and pepper together.
2. Cut beef into a few big chunks and coat with the seasoning mixture. (One whole big chuck of beef works just fine if it fits in your crock pot.)
3. Place half of the prepared veggies at the bottom of your crock pot. Lay beef on top of the veggies. Next, sprinkle the rest of the mixture over the beef.
4. Add the other half of the veggies around or on top of the beef.
5. Pour water over the ingredients and throw bay leaf in the pot.
6. Cook on low for 9 hours.

Notes

This recipe brings a good amount of can’t-stop-drinking soup. If you would like to reduce the liquid, simply add 1/2 cup water instead of 1 cup before cooking. However, it might increase the saltiness.
