roast beef in slow cooker

[mccfluff]

anyone done it and how did it turn out?

i'm thinking brown the meat first and chop some veg put in the bottom and sit the meat on top
not sure about liquid and for how long?

there are so many diff recipes online and all say something different, im so confused!

6 to 8 hrs and make sure that the meat is just covered with liquid to ensure it is cooked thorouly and not too dry.usually low temperature is the right setting.i usually chop the veg and saute them before putting intothe slow cooker. a tip also to tenderise the meat is to add a little lemon juice, this breaks up the fibres of the meat. good luck hopethis helps.

If its 'ready to roast' its not for slow cooking & wont be as tasty as brisket

Who cares what you call it? You are making it for yourself not selling it. I also do 'roast' pork and lamb in my slow cooker too, so there!

[mccfluff]

now i'm even more confused, bascially i want to go to the pub sat afternoon and come back to dinner

[rowanwitch]

you won't get pink in the middle beef in a slow cooker as the heat penetrates through the meat ccoking it more evenly but its still delicious I gave up normal roasts years ago in favour of potroasts as you can use the cheaper cuts that mostly have better flavour

[mccfluff]

someone set the beat - c'mon you two, start shaking your booty

ok this is the plan i will seal meat add to slow cooker on top of some veg and sh!loads of garlic. add a little stock and some red wine. leave on low, go to pub, come back and have delicous beefy thing
