Instructions
- Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the seasoning mix is well combined.
- Season the Roast: Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef eye round. This will infuse the roast with flavor as it cooks.
- Cook the Roast: Place the seasoned roast in your slow cooker and cover. Cook on the low setting for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
- Rest the Roast: Once the roast is done, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This resting time ensures the juices redistribute within the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
- Slice the Roast: After resting, slice the roast diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Cutting against the grain helps tenderize the meat and makes for a more enjoyable eating experience.
- Prepare the Horseradish Sauce: While the roast is cooking, make the horseradish sauce by combining the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, garlic powder, and beef bouillon granules in a bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Chill the Sauce: Cover the horseradish sauce and place it in the refrigerator to chill until you are ready to serve. The flavors meld together as it sits, making it even more delicious.
- Serve: Arrange the sliced roast on a platter and serve with the chilled horseradish sauce on the side. This sauce is the perfect complement to the rich, tender beef, adding just the right amount of heat and creaminess to the dish.
Tips:
- If you prefer a different cut of beef, you can substitute the beef eye round with a chuck roast or sirloin tip roast. Both cuts will work well in the slow cooker and yield tender results.
- Make sure to let the meat rest before slicing to keep it juicy and tender.
- For an extra depth of flavor, you can sear the roast in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side before placing it in the slow cooker. This step will create a nice crust on the roast and enhance the overall taste.
This Crock Pot Roast with Horseradish Sauce is the kind of recipe that proves you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to make an impressive and delicious meal. Whether you’re a beginner cook or an experienced chef, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
