Easy Beef Pot Roast
Easy Beef Pot Roast
This is cooked in a slow cooker with soup and one onion for a easy meal. The soup makes a great gravy for boiled or mashed potatoes. I make this from local raised beef right here in the village. A slow cooker is great because it can turn any cut of beef tender, it just may take a bit of time. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo beef, any large chunk or chunks will work
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, (Shortcut)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 onion, quartered
- ground black pepper, to taste
- garlic powder, to taste
- potatoes, boiled or mashed, up to you
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Trim any large pieces of fat from the beef chunks and place in the slow cooker.
- Mix the soup and water in a bowl, add an ample shaking of ground black pepper and garlic powder, mix well. Pour this into the slow cooker. Place the quartered onion and bay leaf into the soup mixture. Put lid on the slow cooker.
- Turn on slow cooker to High for 1 hour then reduce to Low for 8 more hours. Leave the lid on, no need to look at it! At the 8 hour mark, try the tenderness, it should fall apart with a fork, if not, keep it on Low for several more hours until fork tender.
- Serve with a boiled potato or mashed potatoes with the soup mixture spooned on for gravy.
Notes
The beef cost me 150 baht, the soup was 42 baht and has lasted me 4 days, costing $1.42 per serving. Make the soup from the shortcut for more savings.
