Slow Cooker Pull Apart Roast Beef
The perfect melt in your mouth pull-apart roast beef.
It’s mid November in Jozi, and the days are beautifully long and hot, with temperatures soaring to 34º Celsius on some days.
Sunday’s are our “big lunch” days, but with the weather being so hot, I didn’t feel like spending hours in the kitchen. So my go to for limited kitchen time, is either my pressure cooker or my slow cooker. I checked my deep freeze and discovered I still had a beef roast. So I decided on late lunch – a pull apart roast beef, done in the slow cooker, with some veggies and a fresh green salad.
A simple seasoning of himalayan salt, pepper and roast rub, with a dash of extra virgin olive oil, and my roast was prepared for cooking. I always braise meats before slow cooking, so you have that lovely caramelisation, colour and flavour. And then simply popped some carrots andbaby red potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker, rested the braised roast on top of the veggies, stuffed it with a few whole garlic cloves and added some broth and onion slices, and spent the rest of my Sunday blogging while my beef roasted to tender perfection in my slow cooker.
