How to Make Beef Roast With Bacon Chile Gravy
- Cook bacon in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
- If the beef roast is in netting or tied, leave it as is.
- Sprinkle the beef roast generously with 1 teaspoon of garlic pepper.
- Sear the beef roast in the reserved bacon fat over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, until browned.
- Spray a 4-5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Place the seared beef roast in the slow cooker.
- Top the beef roast with the cooked bacon and chopped carrots.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the undrained green chiles, beef broth, chili sauce, and flour until smooth.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the beef roast in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Remove the beef roast from the slow cooker and place it on a platter.
- If the beef roast was tied or in netting, remove it now.
- Stir the gravy in the slow cooker to combine.
- Serve the beef roast sliced, generously topped with the bacon chile gravy.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
