Prepare a Roast in 5 mins!

Life's hectic, if you can prepare a wholesome meal like beef roast with all the fixings quick you've got no excuse to eat out or worse.. eat fast food.

Today I made a beef roast for supper. It only took 5 mins to prepare and I'll show you how I do it.

I use a slow cooker quite often because I can throw a meal in it in the morning and it'll cook slowly and be ready for supper.

Here we Go!

This is about a 1.5 kg beef roast i got at Costco

I rub a little olive oil all over it and then hit it with rosemary. Fresh herbs and spices are always preferred but today I used dry. After the rosemary I hit it with some salt and pepper

Now i grab the veggies. You can use whatever you want but today I had baby potatoes, carrots and onions. I halve the pots and carrots and rough chop the onion quick

Then i put the roast and all the veggies right into the crock pot and add a table spoon of crushed garlic with thyme and oregano sprinkled in

Next I take one pkg of beef stock and mix it with a cup of hot water, pour that into the crock pot

That's it, preps over. Everything's in the Crock-Pot now

Set the pot to cook on low, cover and go watch baseball!

5 Hours Later it's Ready

The Crock Pot does all the work, I don't even stir it or look at it anymore while it's cooking

While I carve the meat I put a bag of corn in the microwave for 5 mins. I'll take the au jus from the pot and put it into a frying pan with a couple tablespoons of flower and cook on medium heat. Gravy in 2 mins flat!

There you go.. a delicious and hearty meal that took 5 mins to prepare and cooked for 5 hours with the magic of my trusty $50 slow cooker

I'll be showing more super easy slow cooker recipes in the future so stay tuned!

Bon appetit!
