This is a recipe my mom always made for me as a child…now, I make it for my family! It is the perfect supper to have on cold winter days. If you like garlic as much as I do, you will love the way it is added into the meat to carry out its delicious flavor. Serve with dinner rolls for dipping and a nice garden salad..it will be wonderful.
 |
| Start out with a roasting meat of your choice.. you can use chuck, top/ bottom round, or rump. I suggest purchasing 1 lb per 2 servings. I have a 3 lb roast in this photo (keep an eye out at your grocery store these meats are often BOGO). 1 large can of beef broth, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper. |
 |
| I use 1 head of garlic in my roast, but have 2 here to show you what it looks like when I prepare it. I peel the outside layers off like so… |
 |
| And break the cloves apart and peel the outside layer of the cloves off… |
 |
| Then cut into quarters |
 |
| With a sharp knife cut slices into the meat (about an inch through) |
 |
| Fill the holes in the meat with the quarters of garlic on all sides. |
 |
| Place olive oil in a large pan and heat to medium/high heat. Brown all sides of the roast and season with salt and pepper. This will only cook the meat 1/4 of an inch through, but it adds a delicious flavor! |
 |
| Place your roast into a Crock Pot (you can also do this on a stove in a large pot). Season with worcestershire sauce. |
 |
| Pour 1 large can of beef broth over top |
 |
| Prepare your veggies..I have here potatoes cut in halves, onions cut in quarters and baby carrots. (I also really like cabbage, but my hubby doesn’t, so I spare him ..haha) |
 |
| Simply place all your veggies on top of the meat, if the broth does not cover everything you may add water. |
 |
| Cover and cook on high for 6 hours in the Crock Pot. If you are cooking stovetop, place on a medium heat. |
|
| When your roast is done the veggies will be tender and the roast will flake apart..Mmmm |

Thank you for this recipe! I made it last night and my husband LOVED it! He ate a generous second helping too. Thanks for making me look good Janelle! Ha ha.
Woot!!!! You go girl!
Could you also cook this on low for 10-12 hours in the crockpot? I leave pretty early in the morning and by the time we have dinner it would be almost 11 hours, not 6.
yes 🙂
Love every recipe we’ve tried from your site, most have become regulars in meal rotation!
