Pair It with Your Favorite Side Dish

It is always fun pairing our dinner’s main attraction with random side dishes that will intensify those deep flavors. So here’s what I think would pair wonderfully with our tender Slow Cooked Roast Beef.

Now, although this recipe includes some vegetables like carrots, onions, and potatoes, it would also be a good idea to add a bowl of fresh salad on the side. I recommend trying a side of a simple Middle Eastern Salad, Fattoush with dressing, or a Lebanese Tabouli Salad.

And since this year is set on being a cold one, warm your taste buds with a bowl of Red Lentil soup, Carrot and Sweet Potato Thai soup, or a creamy Broccoli and Mushroom soup.

But if you are craving a classic pairing, I have a perfect creamy mashed potatoes recipe just for you! Or an all time Middle Eastern favorite: a spicy potato and cilantro dish (Batata Harra).


Seasoned to Perfection!

Tips For Perfect Results

When getting yourself busy with a new recipe, it is always advisable to keep a few things into consideration to attain perfect results. So let’s just say I might have a few tips up my sleeve to make your cooking journey a breeze.

Tip 1: Prep your ingredients the night before. Place the chopped vegetables in containers in the fridge, have all of the spices ready, and enjoy a stress-free cooking session the following day.

Tip 2: Mix things up by adding your favorite vegetables to the slow cooker. In addition to the carrots, tomatoes, and onions I mentioned in the recipe, you can add broccoli, brussel sprouts, winter greens, or even cauliflower.

Tip 3: Don’t be stingy with your seasoning. Remember that it is not a matter of getting a perfectly seasoned roast, you don’t want your vegetables to taste bland.

Tip 4: When rubbing the seasoning mix onto the roast, make sure you get into the creases of the meat. This enhances flavor and ensures every bite of the roast packs a taste that will linger!

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make sure my roast turn out tender?

It is important to note that the longer you cook your roast, you will have a higher chance of getting a tender bite. So, keep in mind that if your roast is a bit hard to chew, cook it for a little while longer.

How do I keep my roast from drying out in the cooker?

There are a lot of tips to follow to avoid a dry roast. Make sure you have enough liquid in the cooker, don’t overcook your meat, and aim at using a fatty cut of meat.

Can I store my leftovers?

Sure you can! Keep your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. As for the gravy, freeze it in an ice cube tray, pop them in a freezer bag, and use within 3 months.

Make Your Classic Beef Gravy From Scratch

We all know that a roast beef just wouldn’t taste the same without a layer of classic homemade gravy on top. It is quite an integral part of the whole meal; and let’s be honest, the taste just wouldn’t be as satisfying without it! So here’s how to make your own Beef Gravy.

First, take 2 cups of the beef stock and place them in a pot on medium heat. In the meantime, mix 2 tablespoons of starch with ¼ cup of cold water in a small bowl until the starch dissolves.

Pour the mixture into the pot on high heat and mix until the gravy thickens. Add a final pinch of salt and allspice, then pour onto your tender Slow Cooked Roast Beef.

      I would say 3 lb is more than enough if you find them this small! If not, having left overs are a great way for meal preps for the rest of the week. You can enjoy roast beef daily with different sides like mashed potatoes, rice, wild rice, quinoa, pasta and greens!
