π Ingredients
- π₯© Beef Crown Roast β 3β4 lbs (bone-in beef rib roast formed into a crown shape)
- π§ Garlic β 6 cloves, minced
- π§ Onion β 1 large onion, quartered
- πΏ Fresh Rosemary β 2 sprigs (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
- π± Fresh Thyme β 2 sprigs (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- π§ Salt & Pepper β To taste
- π Beef Broth β 1 1/2 cups
- 𧴠Olive Oil β 2 tbsp
- π₯ Carrots β 2 large, peeled and cut into chunks
- π₯ Potatoes β 4 medium, quartered
π Instructions
π₯© Prep the Roast
Rub the crown roast with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure itβs well-coated for maximum flavor.
π Sear the Roast
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until itβs golden brown (3β4 minutes per side). This seals in the juices and enhances the flavor.
π² Arrange in the Slow Cooker
Place the quartered onions, carrots, and potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Position the seared crown roast on top of the vegetables.
π Add Liquid
Pour the beef broth around the vegetables. The broth will add flavor and keep the meat tender as it cooks.
β³ Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 6β8 hours or on high for 3β4 hours, until the beef is tender and reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer: 130β135Β°F for medium-rare).
πΏ Rest & Serve
Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.
π½οΈ Serving Suggestions
- Serve slices of the crown roast with the roasted vegetables from the slow cooker.
- Pair with a rich beef jus or your favorite gravy for added flavor.
Enjoy this stunning Beef Crown Roast β a dish thatβs as easy to make as it is impressive to serve. Perfect for any celebration! ππ₯π₯β¨
