These delicious slow cooker roasted garlic beef sandwiches are ane of the best beef sandwiches yous will ever eat.

If I was a nutrient blogger worth my salt (get information technology?), I would have come upwardly with some clever theme for the final two weeks. Like, Wearisome Cooker Bonanza Week or Dull Cookerpalooza (as well much?) since, unintentionally, every principal dish I've posted in the last two weeks has been a slow cooker wonder.

Simply. Since I didn't come up up with a clever theme or tagline, I'll just make peace with my i track mind that's conspicuously focused on slow cooker meals correct now (and I'grand pretty sure if the stars align, I accept a killer slow cooker soup coming next week, likewise).

A roll cut in half and filled with shredded beef on a white plate.

Just similar the boring cooker lasagna and irksome cooker butternut tortellini (holy moo-cow, I can't believe how many of you accept tried that one already!), this roasted garlic beef is spectacular.

It'southward no surprise that the beefiness cooks up tender and delicious.

I hateful, that'due south the whole appeal to a slow cooker in the first place. But the roasted garlic? That smashed, caramelized, roasted garlic thrown in in that location with the flavorful bits of meat puts information technology waaaaay over the top. Style.

If you've never roasted garlic before, you're in for a treat.

The sometimes harsh, strong flavor of garlic totally mellows as it roasts in the oven, browning and becoming butter-soft. Information technology adds such a delicious layer of flavor to the slow cooked roast beef (and about a million other things).

I figure if we all kickoff roasting garlic on a regular basis and putting it in everything, no one volition even observe the arlic-gay eath-bray effect.

BTW, these incredible and piece of cake French staff of life rolls (or their whole wheat counterparts) are the perfect sandwiching selection for this tasty garlic roast beefiness.

Cook Fourth dimension: vi hrs

Total Fourth dimension: 6 hrs fifteen mins

  • three pounds chuck roast
  • 1 ½ teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • ¼ – ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ane ½ teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brownish sugar
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium beef goop or stock, utilise less common salt above if non using low-sodium broth
  • 2 full heads garlic

  • Pat the chuck roast dry with newspaper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika and brown sugar. Rub and pat the spice mixture evenly on the roast.

  • Place the roast in a 4- or v-quart tedious cooker. Pour the beef broth around the roast, cover, and cook on depression for 8-9 hours or high for 5-6 hours.

  • While the meat cooks, roast the garlic (you can do this several days in advance and refrigerate). Peel nearly of the paper skin off the heads of garlic (making sure all the cloves stay intact). Slice about i/iv-inch or then off the tip of the caput of garlic so the ends of the garlic are exposed. Place the two heads of garlic cutting-side upward on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil. Wrap the foil around to embrace completely and bake at 400 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until the garlic is starting to await caramelized and chocolate-brown and the texture is very, very soft.

Return the meat to the tedious cooker and stir in the liquid, 1/2 cup at a time, until it's as moist as yous want it to be (I don't add it all back in considering I don't want the sandwiches dripping and soggy but add it to your personal taste). Stir in the mashed garlic and additional salt and pepper, to taste. Cook on low until ready to serve (up to an additional hr, if needed).

  • Serve warm on rolls.
