Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef roast (bottom round or rump)
- 0.5 cups White vinegar
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 2 medium Carrots, sliced
- 1 medium Celery stalk, sliced
- 2 leaves Dried bay leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Peppercorns, crushed
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 cups Low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine white vinegar, water, bay leaves, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and crushed peppercorns to create a marinade.
Place the beef roast in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, then refrigerate and marinate for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
Remove the beef roast from the marinade, pat it dry with paper towels, and discard the marinade.
Place sliced onions, carrots, and celery in the bottom of a crock pot. Lay the beef roast on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle ground black pepper over the beef roast. Pour the low-sodium beef broth around the roast in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the beef roast from the crock pot and place it on a serving platter. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Strain the cooking liquid in the crock pot into a medium saucepan, discarding the solids. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering liquid to thicken it into a sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Slice the beef roast and serve with the thickened sauce drizzled over the top.
