Drunken Garlic Crock Pot Roast
By: Sue L
Dec 19, 2002
Don't be afraid of all the garlic in this! It gets really mild from the long cooking process and gives the meat a wonderful flavor. This is a favorite for me, and I hope it will be for you, too. Different brands of beer will give you different amounts of sweetness ranging from bitter to malty (common beer characters). Try going with less sugar until you know how your beer will taste (as most of them add some amount of sweetness regardless).
SERVES 4 -5
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 24 garlic cloves, minced (about 4 tbsp.)
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 8 ounces lager beer
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar (cut back for a less sweet taste)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- cornstarch (dissolved in water, for gravy)
Directions
1
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoons of the oil and brown roast on both sides, seasoning with salt and pepper; remove to a platter and keep warm.2
Add the remaining tbsp of oil to the pan and add the onions, cook until they just start to wilt then add the garlic, them cook until the onions are tender, a few minutes more.3
Add the bouillon cubes to the hot water and stir to dissolve; add that to the skillet along with the beer, brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar; stir to mix well.4
Pour mixture into the bottom of the crock pot.5
Place roast on top of liquid, cutting into pieces if it doesn't lay flat.6
Set the crock pot on low and cook for 7-8 hours.7
Remove meat from crock pot and pour liquid into a pan on the stove; heat to a boil, and mix a slurry out of the cornstarch and water; thicken pan liquid with slurry to make a gravy.8
Serve gravy over meat or with potatoes or noodles.

Used this recipe as a base. Used wine instead of beer, red wine vinegar instead of cider vinegar. Also used 2 whole garlic heads — way more than 24 cloves and it measured up 3/4 C. Seriously 3/4 C garlic and the guests didn't even notice the garlic.... Don't let this garlic amount scare you. It mellows quite a bit over 7 hours... Only thing I'd change, is a less sugar. I used 3Tbl and would easily go with one or less. All other ingredients were the same. Husband liked it enough. Guest liked it a lot. Not sure I'd make it again - but it wasn't anything to be ashamed of - that's for sure! I was looking for a crock pot recipe for a hot summer day - to avoid the oven and get a big piece of meat out of the freezer....for this it was perfect. Thanks.

Outstanding as usual, Sue L. I will confess, I was a little freaked out with all that garlic but I put it in and it turned out just fine. There flavor of the gravy was magnifico and I used it to go over mashed potatoes. The beef was fork tender and so delicious. This one ranks as one of the best. Thanks Sue L.

I cooked the roast in the oven. I didn't have cider vinegar so I used red wine vinegar. I read all the reviews before making it and I was a little scared to add the dijon mustard but I did and the gravy tasted delicious with lots of sliced onion in it.Next time I will double the amount of onions
