IRISH ROAST BEAST

• Mix all the ingredients, except the meat and gravy mix, in a large bowl.
• FOR THE SLOW COOKER: Put half a cup of the sauce mixture in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the meat in and pour the rest of the sauce over the top.
• Turn the slow cooker to low and cook for 8 to 10 hours (or if you are late putting roast in cooker, cook on high for 6 to 7 hours) When the meat is easily pierced with a fork, remove from the sauce and cut into chunks and put on a platter. Cover platter with foil to keep meat warm.
• Turn the slow cooker to high and sprinkle in the packet of beef gravy mix. Stir until sauce has thickened.
• To serve, drizzle some of the sauce over the meat on the platter. Put the rest of the sauce in a gravy boat or small pitcher for the table.
• INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OVEN: Spray the inside of the roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Follow the directions as above and cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 5 to 6 hours or until easily pierced with a fork. Take off the foil and let brown in oven for another 45 minutes. Remove meat from sauce and cut into chunks and put on a platter. Cover platter with foil to keep meat warm.
• Pour the sauce into a saucepan and sprinkle with beef gravy mix; thicken over medium heat and serve, as described above.

ROAST BEAST (OK, BEEF)

Steps:

• Mix all the spices and the salt together. Moisten the roast with a little bit of water so the spices will stick. Sprinkle the mixture all over the roast and rub or press it in with your hand. Spank that puppy! Show him who's boss!
• Place the roast, fat side up, in the center of a large roasting pan. Spread the onions, carrots and potatoes all around the roast. Don't worry, they're all friends and won't mind the close proximity. Roast in the oven at 375° for 15-20 minutes per pound depending on how silent you like your beef. Stir the vegetables about every 20 minutes, which will coat them with the juices and spices. Your best bet is to use a meat thermometer. Unless you're God, in which case you won't be needing THAT! Ha-Ha!
• Ha.
• Ok then, for rare beef, remove the meat from the oven at about 115-120°. For medium around 135-140°. Let the roast rest (shhh!), preferably 10-20 minutes. The internal temperature will go up 5-10° during that time. If you are cooking a smaller roast or the veggies are still hardened criminals, continue to cook them while the roast takes her nap. Slice and serve your moo with a heapin' helpin' of veggies. And thank the cow. She kinda gave up a lot.
