Image via WikipediaPot roast is a great slow cooker dinner that can be done ahead without much fuss. But to give it a new flavor, I added a smoky dry rub and cracked black pepper. It was an easy way to give a classic dish a new twist.
Peppered Pot Roast
3-4 lb. rump roast
1/4-1/3 small bag of mini carrots
2 large potatoes, roughly cut in chunks (about an inch)
1 small onion, quartered
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 beer
about 1 T. course ground black pepper
salt
about 2 T. smoky dry rub (recipe below)
Generously put dry rub on meat and "rub" in. Sprinkle with pepper to lightly coat. Let meat rest in fridge at least a couple of hours or over night. Put veggies in bottom of crock pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour beer in bottom of slow cooker just to cover potatoes. Lay meat on veggies. Cook in slow cooker on low 6-7 hours. Remove meat from slow cooker to a plate and let set for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.
Smoky dry rub
2 1/2 T. paprika
2 T. garlic powder
1 T. onion powder
1 t. cumin
1 t. cayenne
1 T. oregano
1 t. thyme
1 t. pepper
1 T. kosher salt
Preparation -
Mix in small bowl and pour into container with tight fitting lid. Saves well in dry place.
(Note-can be used as a dry rub on any meat before grilling or as a spice additive to other dishes.)
