Ingredients
- 3 lb beef
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 medium onions
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 lb mushrooms
- 3/4 cup dry red
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Dice the veggies into large chunks. If you'd like, leave the onions whole. Cut the top off a garlic head and leave it whole and unpeeled.
- Rub the meat generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides on a hot skillet.
- Add the beef, carrots, onion, garlic, garlic powder, and a teaspoon of salt into the slow cooker.
- Sauté the mushrooms over high heat and cook them until they turn golden brown on all sides. Pour in the wine and about one cups of hot water.
- Cook the roast in the slow cooker for about 5 hours, or until the meat easily falls apart when flaked with a fork.
- Remove the meat from the slow cooker. Spoon out the juice and mushrooms if you wish. Serve the beef in sandwiches, quesadillas, or over mashed potatoes.
