BEEF POT ROAST IN CROCK POT / SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Trim all excess fat from the roast.
• Combine 1/4 cup flour, salt and pepper on a flat plate. Coat meat with the flour mixture. Heat large pan with oil and brown the beef.
• Place onion and celery in slow cooker, then pour in the liquid stock and top with roast (cut roast in half if it's unable to fit),.
• Cover and cook on low setting for 8-10 hours. Depending on how well you enjoy the beef.
• Remove beef from the slow cooker and allow to sit until you make the gravy (about 10 mins).
• To make gravy pour all the juices from the slow cooker into a pot and puree with a hand wand. Put the meat juices on a very low heat on the stove top. In a separate bowl mix flour and water until liquid paste. Slowly add the flour and water mixture into the gravy pot, mix the gravy until it thickens.
• Slice beef and serve with roasted root vegetables and gravy.
