Stew or Pot Roast in the Crock Pot

A wintertime comfort classic! This is a delicious dish that made incredibly easy with a few simple prep steps. Our farm fresh roasts along with vegetables and spices will make you smile and fill your belly. Greata for football games, Sunday dinner, family gatherings and so much more!
Ingredients: Roast, a full onion, carrots (the more the better) potatoes sliced in quarters, celery and spices such as cracked pepper, beef or steak seasoning, garlic or garlic powder, and sea salt.
Step 1:
Pro tip: You can sear the roast in a cast iron pan. Turn the heat up, use some butter, duck fat or tallow along with some beef spices, garlic, sea salt and cracked pepper. Just give it some great grill marks and we are ready to put it into the crock pot. Don’t want to do this step? Just skip it.
Step 2:
Place your roast in the crockpot and add in seasonings. No need to add water or broth, but a little bit on the bottom doesn’t hurt. The Crock pot will produce lots of its own moisture.
Step 3:
Cut up onion and garlic and place it around the roast and under it.
Step 4:
Add in potatoes. We leave the skin on and quarter it, but do it to your liking. Another variation is to not add potatoes and do a pot of mashed potatoes. If you have someone great at making gravy this becomes very tempting!
Step 5:
Add in carrots, celery and any other vegetables that are your favorites. Fill the crockpot. Add more spices to the top. It will season it and make it look very scrumptious! If you have one the latches down, just batten down the hatch!
Step 6:
For a 3-5 lb roast 8 hours on low should do it. If you are in a hurry setting it to high will help a bit. There is not need to stir or flip. I don’t do that until we are ready to serve. Once the meat is falling apart you are ready! Open up the lid and let it cool. After an eight hour cook it is too hot, so give it a rest first. You can dish it out and let it cool on plates or bowls for serving.
 

At Ellsworth Crossing we always have fresh sour dough bread which makes for a great pairing.

You are ready to eat and enjoy!
