How to Make Crock Pot Roast Beef Or Venison
- In your crock pot, combine 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional), 1 tbsp beef bouillon granules, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 medium onion (chopped), 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced), 1 tsp hot sauce (or to taste), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Add a 3-4 lb beef roast (or 2-3 lb venison roast) to the crock pot.
- Cook on high for 4-6 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- If using, prepare carrots and potatoes: Peel and chop 1 lb carrots and 1 lb potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Boil in salted water for 10-12 minutes until almost tender but still firm. Drain well.
- Add the cooked carrots and potatoes (if using) to the crock pot during the last 1-2 hours of cooking time.
- Once the roast is cooked through, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and place them in a covered dish to keep warm.
- **Optional Thickened Gravy:** To make a gravy, prepare a cornstarch slurry by whisking together 2 tbsp cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
- **Gravy Method 1 (Crock Pot):** With the crock pot on high, bring the remaining broth to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
- **Gravy Method 2 (Saucepan):** Pour the broth from the crock pot into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1 minute).
- Slice the roast beef and serve it with the gravy, carrots, potatoes (if using), and your choice of sides like noodles or rice.
- For leftover repurposing: use the remaining roast, vegetables, and gravy to create a delicious stew or soup, adding additional wine or water as needed for desired consistency.
