Directions

  1. 1
    Using a sharp, thin knife (like a boning knife), create deep holes in the meat, inserting the quartered pieces of garlic and bacon.

    Rub this mixture all over the roast.
  4. 4
    Put the roast into the crockpot and cook on low 7-10 hours, or until done.

    You can substitute a pork sirloin roast for the beef too, mmmmm.

The flavor combination here was quite good, but it was a bit too greasy and somehow still dry for us in the end. I did slow cook it in a dutch oven at 200 degrees for 3.5 hours, rather than do it in the crock pot, but I'm not sure this will be a repeater for us.

    If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would... if for no other reason than the way it was received by my guests. I left out the thyme and used regular salt instead of sea salt (because I didn't have any), but otherwise made as directed. I used a 4-lb roast, and had NO leftovers — and there were only 6 of us! Everyone wanted more, and was disappointed when it ran out. One guest even went fishing into the bottom of the crock for the dregs! :P I've already passed along the recipe, and my fiance and our roomie are begging me to make it again soon.

    Canarygirl, this one ought to be number one in place of my "To Die For" roast! I had people over for dinner and we all devored this! I don't have a motar and pestle, so I used a fork and a bowl and a little elbow grease and it worked fine! I didn't think my paprika was "smoky" enough so I added a dash of liquid smoke. All of the spices and seasonings produce a very exotic tasting roast! I can't wait for lunch...there was just enough meat left over for a sandwhich!

    This is so good and so easy to prepare. I didn't have any thyme, so I left it out. The next time I will cut back on the paprika - it was pretty strong tasting for me. When the roast was done, I added some beef broth to the juices and thickened it with flour and water which made the most wonderful tasting gravy. Overall, a great recipe!
