    🙋‍♀️ FAQ's

    What cut of beef is the most tender for a roast?

    Chuck roast - either boneless or bone-in. The boneless roast will be more expensive. The bone-in less expensive, but will have even more flavor from the bone. They are also called Top-Blade or Chuck 7-Bone Roast.

    Top Loin, Bottom or Top Round, Rump Roast are also good choices. Brisket offers big beefy flavor also.

    How do you choose the best beef?

    That's a great question! We don't eat a whole lot of roasts in our home and because I don't shop for it very often, I will call my folks often even face-timing my Mom so she can help me pick out good meat - true story! But here's what I've learned.

    when possible choose organic grass-fed beef
    shop from a local butcher or meat market
    a little marbling is good!

    Do you have to brown a roast before putting it in the crockpot?

    Have you heard the phrase brown food tastes good? Brown equals flavor and if you have the opportunity to brown a roast prior to putting it in the slow cooker great! With this recipe it's just not necessary! Even better, right?!!!

    How long do I cook roast beef in a slow cooker?

    Cook on high heat for eight hours. Or on low heat for 12 hours.

    Variations

    If you'd prefer, sear this roast on the stovetop. Place a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the top of the roast, flip and sear the underside. Place in the slow cooker as directed.

    Serving suggestions

    • Serve this with the steakhouse salad recipe - so fabulous with loads of fresh flavor and great crunch!
    • Mashed potatoes are definitely in order along with Roasted Brussels sprouts. YUM!!!
    • This recipe for jiffy cornbread in a cast iron skillet would be terrific too. What a great meal!
