2. Brown Roast: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides until golden brown, creating a flavorful crust.

3. Prepare Crock Pot: While the roast is browning, prepare your crock pot. Place chopped carrots, onions, 3/4 of the sliced pickles, and celery into the crock pot, creating a bed of vegetables.

4. Layer Meat: Once the roast is browned, transfer it to the crock pot, positioning it on top of the bed of vegetables. If needed, cut the roast to fit the crock pot.

5. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together dry red wine or beef broth, German mustard, fresh coarse ground black pepper, ground cloves, and bay leaves to create a flavorful sauce.

6. Pour Sauce Over Meat: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meat, ensuring it is well coated.

7. Slow Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender and succulent.

8. Prepare Gravy: Once the meat is cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot and place it on a serving platter, keeping it warm.

9. Skim Fat: Transfer the cooking liquid from the crock pot to a 2-quart saucepan. Skim off any excess fat from the surface and discard.

10. Thicken Gravy: In a small bowl, combine flour with the remaining 2 tablespoons of wine or broth. Stir this mixture into the cooking liquid in the saucepan.

11. Cook Gravy: Cook and stir the gravy over medium heat until it thickens and becomes bubbly, creating a luscious sauce to accompany the beef.

12. Warm Vegetables: Add the cooked vegetables back into the gravy, stirring gently to combine. Allow the vegetables to warm through for one to two minutes.

13. Serve: Serve the tender Bavarian beef alongside the vegetable gravy and your choice of noodles, garnishing with the remaining sliced pickles and chopped bacon for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the beef in the sauce mixture overnight before cooking.
• Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave for a quick and satisfying meal. Enjoy! 🍖🥕🍷
