Roast beef recipe?!
Answers: looking for a good roast beef recipe for either the oven or the crock pot...prefer crock pot being my oven is in use for a few hours..however i want it to taste like it came out of the oven if cooked in the crock pot...i have never made a roast beef before so both recipes would be appreciated...thanks in advance
Take a nice beef roast and fresh garlic. Poke holes in the roast, large enough to press whole cloves of garlic into the roast; do this 6 to 8 times. Then use your own seasoning salt or store bought, and black pepper. Rub this in generously. Let stand in refrigerator for a couple of hours. Put covered in pre-heated oven. Let cook slowly (don't rush it). When it is tender enough to easily put a fork in, it's done. First, you'll have a nice roast beef dinner. Then for the rest of the week, you'll have wonderful roast beef sandwiches, which is really what I look forward to.
i have to 1st ask you exactly what type of roast you bought-eye of the round ,rib roast ,etc
roast beef with thyme

In a small bowl combine butter, lemon peel, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub garlic halves over surface of beef roast. Spread butter mixture over roast, coating thoroughly on all sides. Place meat on rack in a shallow roasting pan
Roast at 450°, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300°; roast beef about 20 minutes longer for medium well. A meat thermometer should register about 140°.

i like slow cooker my self but the recipes dont differ.
i like to add some water , potatoes, carrotts, celery, lots of onion and fresh garlic
a great way if you dont wanna add the veggies in it is just mix a package of onion soup mix in the water and baste it a few times
or water, onion, sliced green pepper and garlic powder.
the veggies cooked in with the roast help the flavour of the gravy if you are making one.
you could also just put a few spoonfuls of salsa sauce ontop of the roast during cooking.
good luck
