Can I Cook Silvereide Beef in Slow Cooker

Slow cooking a joint of meat is genius on many levels and here's why…

Slow cooking a beef joint frees up the oven

There's no need to worry about juggling oven space with this easy slow cooker beef joint. Usually you need a double oven, or have to wait until the joint is out and resting to cook the rest of the meal, but with our easy slow cooker recipe, you can roast your veg, make Yorkshire puddings and roasties, without having to make yourself a timeplan.

The beef is ready when you are

With traditional roasts, timing is pretty crucial, but with a slow cooker, there's a much bigger window of time to get all the sides ready, leaving you less stressed.

This is the simplest way of cooking a beef joint

We've kept everything really easy. You don't have to brown the beef beforehand (although you can do as discussed below), which saves time and effort and is great for roast dinner beginners.

The gravy gets made during the cooking

The liquid the joint cooks in turns into the gravy at the end – winning! If you prefer your gravy darker in colour, follow the advice below about taking this recipe further.

How to take this beef joint to the next level

If you're a more seasoned cook, we've got some pro tips to make this roast even better.

1. Heat some oil or beef dripping in a large frying pan over a high heat, then fry the mustard-coated beef joint on all sides until browned and set aside.
2. Fry the veg in the empty beef pan until golden (it doesn't need to be cooked through), then tip it into the slow cooker and sit the browned beef on top.
3. Add a glug of red wine, beer, stout or water to the empty frying pan, bring to the boil and scrape any residue from the bottom of the pan. Tip this into the slow cooker and then continue with the rest of the recipe as written below.

The caramelised meat and veg and the boozy deglaze will add extra flavour to the cooking liquid and result in a deeper-coloured gravy.

1. Scatter the onions and carrot over the base of the pot of a slow cooker. In a small bowl, stir together both kinds of mustard, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Rub mixture all over the beef, then put the meat on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker. Pour the stock around the beef. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on low for 3hr for medium meat, 3hr30min for well done meat (see GH Tip).
   

2. Lift the joint on to a board or serving plate and cover with tin foil, allow to rest for 10min.

3. Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook for 3-4min, stirring frequently until bubbling and golden. Strain cooking liquid into jug and discard the vegetables. Add strained liquid to the butter and flour mixture a little at a time, stirring well after each addition. Once 600ml of liquid has been added, bring to the boil and simmer for 3-5min until thickened, whisking constantly. Add more liquid if a thinner gravy is desired. Pour into a serving jug.

4. Carve the beef into slices and serve with the gravy and your favourite roast dinner trimmings.
