Making this for the second time. Using blade roast as it was so good the first time. There was no need to change anything, the kids cleaned their plates in record time Thanks Pauline!

This is amazing. Tastes delicious and so quick and easy to cook. I tried it for the first time last night and itβs all gone .. eaten up by the kids., they devoured it. I will definitely be cooking this again. We had ours with mashed potatoes, the kids preference was bread rollβ¦ itβs β¦ . Yum yum yum 10/10.

Cooked this recipe last night, I did sprinkle some mixed herbs and some garlic powder on it with the gravy powder just to add some flavour and it was tender and delicious. After an hour I added potatoes, pumpkin and carrots and they were delicious as well

Absolutely delicious, reminded me of my dads pot roasts…. will definitely cook again. I added an extra 1/4 cup water as I had a very lean piece of beef and it was super tender..

This dish is amazingly tender with lots of gravy. I only had a packet of Maggi brown onion gravy so that’s it. Maiden voyage for my Choose a crock pot, did not disappoint. Hubby asked what’s for dinner told him Roast Beef π. I don’t like Beef, then have a Vegemite sandwich, oh ok I’ll give it a go. Fatty that is awesome what’s in it. Beef,1/2 cup water and a packet of brown onion gravy. No way you have put something else in it. No I didn’t, ok can you cook it again soon π€ XXOO. Thank you so much Paulene, you are awesome.π₯°

This was really lovely. The meat just fell off the bone and the gravy was to die fore. Switched out the beef for a leg of lamb as that is what I had. Cant wait to try this again with beef. Thanks for the delicious and easy recipe.

The best and tastiest dish I’ve made in my slow cooker! We had beef and gravy rolls. I used blade roast, seared then left for 8 hours! A new family favourite!

I used a whole rump and sooo good. Put potatoes, onion and garlic cloves in with it. Got to give some out to family members and plenty of leftovers. Yum

OMG this was soooo good! I added some sliced onion and garlic under the meat, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. At the end I heated gravy on the stove top with some corn flour, seriously the best gravy I’ve ever had!

Simplicity and taste guaranteed. We’ve now tried this with a mix of chicken breasts and skinless thighs, and the the votes are in – Chicken wins with 2 votes from four people, with the runners up being pork (1 vote) and my favorite…beef

A variation on this is to sprinkle a packet of French onion soup mix over the beef as well as the gravy powder – delicious!

I had to come back and try this again. Magnificent, devine, so tasty, such a winner with the family in fresh buttered rolls…..and so easy it basically does all the work for you. 1.3 kg Blade bolar beef roast for 8 hours low in my new Breville Smart temp and it shredded so easily to go back into the devine gravy (needed a bit of extra gravy powder at end to thicken up). I know what I’m having for lunch l;eftovers today and cant wait.

I did your 1,2,3 pulled beef (I used a blade roast) and OMG π it was soooooo tender it just fell apart! Made gravy out of tge liquid with a splash of Worcestershire and thickened with gravy flour. Leftovers will go into little puff pastry triangles with some veggies for a super easy dinner tomorrow night!

Magnificent, thank you Paulene. Ridiculously easy. So tasty
I had a small piece (less than 1 kg), pre marinated in Worcestershire and black pepper. I added a sprinkle of season all salt and a little extra water. 4.5 h on low and it was a winner in rolls. Some tried fresh, I tried an oven warmed roll, and it was so freaking good I had to try in a fresh roll too!! warmed rolls. Will definitely do this again as a roast meal too

I have had many failed attempts at roast beef… but I finally cracked it with this one! I used a bit more gravy so my meat was nearly covered (it was a flat chunk) and it turned out amazing. So good with Yorkshire Puds π

We had a larger sized roast, so cooked on Low for 9 hours, and turned up to high for the last hour, sliced and let sit in the gravy. We also added quartered onions in the beginning and it came out Amazing! Melted in your mouth.

This was absolutely devine! Had it on all day while I was at work with my parents coming for dinner and arriving as I would walk in the door. Sliced up super tender and juicy, I added a extra tablespoon of gravy powder and let it thicken as I got the veg ready. Dad raved about it, left overs the next day became beef and gravy rolls which was also wonderful! Will never do a beef roast in the oven again

Could it have cooked too hot?
For eg did you have a small roast in an almost empty cooker?
Or was it a very lean roast as they tend to be drier π

This was sooo easy it surprised me as it was my first time using S/C thought l was going to muck it up ,my daughter just loved it and was eating it before l even got it to the table ,will do it again for sure , the only thing was l might have put too much water as l though wasn’t enough so gravy came out abt too runny but my own fault, should have stuck to recipe , the aroma through the house was amazing !!

Made this for dinner tonight. Delicious and so easy! Started with a 1.5 kg Bolar Blade roast, put a chopped onion, potatoes and carrots around the meat in slow cooker, seasoned well with ground salt and pepper, minced garlic clove and sprinkled 2 tablespoons traditional gravy powder over meat. Added the 1/2 cup hot water, a good splash of Worcestershire sauce, fresh bay leaves and sprigs of thyme. 8 hours on low and turned out perfectly! Thickened gravy a little before serving with a bit more gravy powder.

Used a 1.3kb topside roast, added some thyme, rock salt and cracked pepper and 500ml beef stock along with the water. Only required 6 hours on low and meat is just so tender. Mixed in Gravox supreme with the liquid and have made the most beautiful, rich gravy. Will never be doing a roast in an oven again, this recipe so easy and so tasty.

For anyone that has ever had doubts about a roast in the slow cooker try this one! You will never ever ever cook roast beef any other way! Put it in sprinkle gravy powder and water and walk away for 6+ hours. The most succulent, tasty roast meat you will ever cook. I am 77 and an experienced old fashioned cook. But I am converted, , so will you be!
