Slow Cooker Roast Beef Recipe

A slow cooker roast beef recipe can be okay or it can be great. Cooking just any cut of beef roast in slow cooker is not going to give you the same results.

Cuts from the hip such as the sirloin tip, eye of round or top round(inside round) will not be disappointing, but roast from the hip don't thrive on long slow cooking.

Cuts from the rib and loin are expensive and much better suited to dry cooking in a fraction of the time, so we prefer to stay away from the expensive cuts for crockpot pot roast recipes.

A slow cooker is perfect for cuts from the chuck/shoulder area that benefit from slow, wet cooking methods. The cross rib(beef shoulder roast) will yield nice results, but our favorite by a long shot is the blade roast. The blade roast is super tender and intensely flavorful, the slow cooker was simply made for the blade roast.

When cooking a large 5-6lb blade roast we had better results simply cutting the roast in half, creating two 2.5-3lb roasts. This gave us two tender, more evenly cooked roast.
