SLOW-COOKER FAUX PRIME RIB ROAST

Slow-Cooker Faux Prime Rib Roast image

This is my first original recipe, inspired by a great holiday dinner with friends. I wanted to see if I could do something similar with a less expensive cut of meat. The Faux Prime Rib Roast can also be baked in a covered Dutch oven at 350° for about 1-1/2 hours or until 165°. The beef is also delicious served with regular or horseradish mashed potatoes. -Kimberly Kuhlman, Bryan, Texas
