Herbed Saint John’s organic roast.
Wondering how to cook a roast?
Roasts are a cost-effective way to enjoy our organic, grass-fed beef. They're versatile and go with just about everything.
We've eaten a lot of roast beef over the years! Here's how we get a nutritious, filling dinner on the table -- with minimal prep or active cooking.
Simple Preparation
The easiest preparation is to salt and pepper the outside of the roast, put the roast in a slow cooker with 2 cups water or broth, and cook on low for 7-8 hours. If an Instant Pot is more your style, follow the same steps and cook on the Meat/Stew function for 70 minutes.
How to crank up the flavor
Add even more flavor to the roast by searing 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat on all sides of the roast before cooking in the slow cooker or Instant Pot.
Add quartered onions, carrots, and minced garlic to your slow cooker or Instant Pot for a traditional pot roast meal.
Serving Ideas
When we have the time, we serve roasts with mashed or baked potatoes, bread, carrots, and a crisp salad.
For a quick lunch, try a homemade roast beef sandwich! Slice the roast thinly and add to bread with mustard, mayo, tomato, and onion.
Warm Weather Roasts
With Spring just around the corner, having a hot slow cooker in the kitchen all day isn't always ideal. If you don't have an Instant Pot, a great alternative is to move the slow cooker outside and use an outdoor outlet.
For a warm day, try a "roast beef salad", similar to a chicken or tuna salad. Chop cooked and chilled roast beef and toss with celery, mayo, mustard, diced onion, and any herbs or spices you enjoy. We enjoy it with cilantro, lime juice, and paprika or chili powder on tortillas in the summer time.
