Ingredients
- ~5-lb Beef Chuck Roast (or some other similarly inexpensive cut of beef)- 2 Tbs. Olive Oil- Carrots, raw, approximately 4 large cut into bite-size pieces or a small bag of baby carrots- Potatoes, ~ 2 lbs small new potatoes, or regular-sized potatoes quartered- 1 15-oz bottle of pearl onions- 3 cloves minced Garlic- 8 cups Beef broth- 2 Tbs. Paprika- 1/2 tsp. Mrs. Dash Italian Medley (or, 1/2 tsp. each: dried basil, dried oregano & dried thyme)- 1 Tbs. ground black pepper (or to taste)
- Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear beef on each side (about 3-4 mins per side), peppering beef as it is turned; put in crockpot.
- Add pearl onions to pan and saute, gently dislodging meat scrapings from the bottom of the pan, being careful not to break up the onions.
- Add spices & garlic and saute for a few more minutes.
- Pour mixture over beef in crockpot.
- Add beef broth, carrots & potatoes, cover and cook: 10 hours on low or 5 hours on high.
If Gravy is desired:
- Prepare a roux by melting 2 Tbs. butter with 2 Tbs. flour over low heat. (Creates a roux/paste.)
- When crockpot is finished, remove veges and beef to a serving plate, being careful to keep warm.
- Pour the broth into a pan over high heat.
- Slowly whisk in the roux while bringing the mixture to a boil--it will thicken as it heats up, so add a little at a time between whisking, add more until desired thickness.
- Serve on meat & veges or on the side.
Makes approximately 10 servings. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!
