Slow Cooker Mirepoix Roast Beef

By Marlenew

Ingredients

• 4-5 pound beef chuck roast (sear in olive oil on each side)
• Salt & pepper
• 1 large container Mirepoix (14 oz. mixture of onion, carrot, celery, from Trader Joe’s, or about 1 cup each, diced)
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 cup of beef stock (we use 2 Tbsp. Better Than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base + 1 cup water)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and sear the roast on each side, for about 2 minutes per side, until nicely browned.

Pour Mirepoix onto the bottom of a slow cooker.

Place the beef on top; heavily salt and pepper.

Pour the red wine over the top. Add the bouillon. Salt and pepper again.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or sweet potatoes.
