well and then transfer all the ingredients to the slow crock pot.
Place the crock pot in the slow cooker base. Place the lid over
onto the slow cooker. Cook for approx. 5 - 7 hours. Take the
beef out of the slow cooker with a slotted spoon and allow to
cool for 10 minutes. The cooking liquid can be used as a base
to make gravy. Cut the beef into slices and spoon a little of the
cooking liquid over. Serve with vegetables and garnish with
fresh parsley.
IMPORTANT
When buying a joint of meat, make sure that it will fit the slow
cook pot. It should fit into the crock pot so that when it is
covered with liquid it will still be 2.5cm below the rim of the
pot. The joint must not stick out above the rim and there should
be enough room to cover the meat with water. The shape of
the meat is just as important as the weight.
