Step-by-Step Guide on How to Cook Roast in Crock Pot
- Turn your crock pot on high and add 1/2 cup of oil. The amount of oil you use will depend on the amount of meat and vegetables you’re cooking.
- Add the onions, carrots and celery sticks to the pot and brown them for 3 minutes or until they start becoming soft. Do not burn them.
- Add garlic to the pot and cook for another minute, stirring frequently. Make sure it does not burn as well.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, thyme and tomatoes over the vegetables; add beef chunks over this mixture. The tomatoes here is optional if you decide not to put it in, it will still taste great without it though just a bit too bland for my taste buds..
- Cover the pot, set the crock pot on high and cook this for 12 hours.
- Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

Along with that for any beef dish, add beef broth so that it does not dry out as much when cooking it.
