Crockpot for 6hrs on high

Must add 2 cups of water and season. Water makes steam that tenderize it for the 6-8 hours being cooked. Lipton onion seasoning is good to use.

Always do mine in slow cooker. I put one pack of Au Jus , one pack ranch and one stick of butter. Just put on top and cook on high about 4 hours or low about six will fall apart

Season it how you like, I put salt, pepper, minded garlic, a chopped onion, Worcestershire, and a bay leaf and wrap it all in foil and then cook in crock pot. No liquid. I don’t know why, but it is tender, but not dry this way

I didn't want to do the veggies with my roast. The roast was actually two and they both weighed almost 6 lbs. I seared both sides of the roasts in the pan until just browned and then transferred to the crockpot. I added beef broth and two packs each of brown gravy mix and au jus and one can of cream of mushroom and let it cook on high for about 6 hours. It turned out so tender and I served with mash potatoes and a veggie.

I have a blue speckled aluminum Dutch oven with dome lid. It is the best for cooking any kind of meat , especially roast of any kind. It will be ever so tender. I have 2 sizes and would not be without either one. I purchase mine at Walmart and have used them for years.

I like my roasts "over cooked," til tender, falling apart by itself!
Pressure cook, or Better yet ...
Insta Pot!

Low and slow does the trick. I typically put beef broth, a cup of coffee, bay leaves, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder and your veggies. We do baby carrots, red potatoes, celery and pearl onions. I tend to watch mine so I make sure there is always enough liquid in there with it, if not I add more broth. I will cook it for a good 6-8 hours and keep it on warm if it cooks faster than expected. But if you can split it with a fork it's tender. I almost forgot but I usually start off by browning the roast in a pan with olive oil and butter and the dry seasonings before putting it in the crock pot..

Any cut of tough meat cooks best low and slow. Season with plenty of liquid.

 

[kenneth25]

I put in a can of beer to make it tender

Pressure cooker! Never tough

If it is tough but still juicy, try cooking it longer. If it is tough and dry, your cook temp could be too high or you could be cooking it too long or even a combination of the two. The key to a tender, juicy roast is lower temp and longer cook time If you're cooking in an oven or crockpot.
