HERB ROAST BEEF (SLOW COOKER)
I was surprised to see so many "crock pot" recipes out there that call for soup mixes and other processed ingredients. What ever happened to a good old fashioned slow cooked roast!? Here's my contribution. Onions are essential as they basically create a stock/gravy which is used to flavour the meat and the liquid can be reduced to create a delicious jus or gravy to serve over the meat.

Steps:
- Reserve 1 unchopped rosemary sprig and several garlic cloves. (You will use this garlic and rosemary to poke into the meat to add extra flavour).
- Put all other ingredients except the meat in the slow cooker on high. Put lid on to allow mixture to warm in the slow cooker.
- Meanwhile, braise the meat on all sides in a separate frying pan using a spoonful of oil, until meat is lightly browned. This step is designed to seal in the juices as topside meat is usually quite dry. Braising should take around 5 minutes.
- Once braised, gently set meat on top of onion mixture in slow cooker.
- Poke reserved garlic and rosemary into folds in meat and leave to cook.
- Roast 4-5 hours on high until meat is tender and falling apart. Cook time wil depend on size of roast.
- Serve with your favourite roasted vegetables.
