I created this slow cooker roast beef one day when I knew I was going to be too busy to make a special dinner for company. I wanted special.
I wanted that wonderful taste of rouladen with its amazing gravy. But, I was going to be gone all day. Dare I take my expensive bottom round roast and pop it into the slow cooker without browning?
I did and included the traditional rouladen ingredients. The result? It had all the flavor of the rouladen meat AND THE GRAVY and was so easy to put together in the morning.
I love adding mushrooms to my rouladen gravy, so I included them in the photo above as well. Wunderbar!
YES, of course, you can brown the meat before putting it into the cooker. This will add a nicer 'look' to the finished roast and will increase the flavor.
However, if you're in a real hurry in the morning and really don't have the time to brown the meat, just go ahead. The flavor will still be fantastic. This is my NEW go-to recipe when I need something easy and special.
Everything into the slow cooker. Cover. On high for 6 hours. WUNDERBAR!
Since rouladen were so expensive (and consuming to make), I created also created Beef Flatladen! Vary the type of meat. (Even pork works!) Vary the size of chunks (usually about a 2 - 3 inch square and about ¾ inch thick). Leftovers are delicious, so make lots!
This recipe takes a bit more time, but, my - my ... is this delicious!
