Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 pound Eye of Round Roast
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth

Instructions

  • Ideal slow cooker size: 5- to 6-Quart.
  • Sprinkle the garlic, salt and pepper over the roast and rub them in.
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown on all sides, cooking 2-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the roast from the skillet and place it in the slow cooker.
  • Add the onion, carrots, celery and rosemary to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir the wine and tomatoes into the vegetable mixture, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the tomato mixture and beef broth to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on LOW until the meat is fork-tender, about 7 to 8 hours.
  • Remove the meat from the slow cooker and place it on a platter or cutting board and loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
  • If you want a thicker, more concentrated sauce, transfer it to a saucepan and bring it to a boil and then lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Skim off any fat the accumulates on top of the sauce.
