Slow Cooker Beef pot roast

Ingredients

  • 1 jar Molli Morelos Cooking Sauce
  • 3 lbs Boneless beef roast
  • 1 tbsp Canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 Medium carrots, peeled and cut into ½ inch half moons
  • 2 Chayotes or potatoes, peeled, pitted and cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 1 cup Water

Directions

  1. Optional: Place the meat in a shallow dish and coat with Molli Morelos Cooking Sauce, cover and refrigerate overnight. (marinating will enhance overall flavor)
  2. Remove meat from sauce and scrape the extra sauce. Reserve the sauce. Dry thoroughly meat with paper towels, sprinkle with salt.
  3. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high. When hot but not smoking, add the meat and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove meat and place on slow cooker. Pour the water into the large pan where meat was browned and bring to a boil, scrapping up the browned bits. Pour water into slow cooker and stir in the reserved sauce. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low.
  5. Add vegetables to pot 30 minutes before serving. Make sure to distribute vegetables evenly around the meat. Cover and continue cooking for another 30 minutes or until vegetables are cooked.
  6. Cut meat in 6 large pieces and serve each piece with a scoop of vegetables on top. If sauce is too fatty, skim fat off with a spoon then pour a spoonful of the sauce into each serving. Serve beef pot roast with rice and beans on the side.
