A delicious and easy-to-make beef roast recipe with a flavorful herb gravy, perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Peel and chop the onion into medium-sized pieces.
Chopping the onion into even pieces ensures uniform cooking.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Mincing the garlic releases its full flavor.
Place the chopped onion and minced garlic into the slow cooker.
Spread the onion and garlic evenly to create a flavorful base.
Place the beef roast on top of the onion and garlic in the slow cooker.
Positioning the roast on top allows it to absorb the flavors from below.
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme over the beef roast.
Rub the seasonings gently into the meat for better flavor absorption.
Pour the red wine around the beef roast in the slow cooker.
Pouring the wine around the roast helps distribute the flavor evenly.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours or until the beef is tender.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Remove the cooked beef roast from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter.
Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
Measure 2 cups of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and pour it into a saucepan.
Strain the liquid if necessary to remove any solids.
Mix the flour and cold water in a small bowl until smooth, then whisk it into the cooking liquid in the saucepan.
Whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
Adjust the seasoning of the gravy to taste before serving.
Slice the beef roast and serve it with the prepared gravy.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.
