Drunken Garlic Crock Pot Roast
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Drunken garlic crock pot roast is my recipe of the day with the blogging group From Our Dinner Table, which hang out on Sundays posting tasty recipes.
This week we are doing garlic recipes, not that we need it against vampires as I imagine they are in lockdown as well.
I first posted a version of this recipe on Recipezaar years ago where it was fairly popular I guess. I have made a couple of adjustments in the decades since then, and one among them is I ditched the sugar in it, since it is not needed.
Better the Next Day
If you make this a day ahead and fridge it overnight, it will slice a bit easier. Also that way you can clarify the pan juices for gravy and ditch the fat (it will rise to the top to be easily scooped out). Make a slurry by stirring cornstarch into cold water and stirring that into the broth as you heat it. It will thicken up.
Serving Suggestions
I served the roast with heirloom carrots on the side. And the roast itself over some noodles with gravy. What I do there varies on whether I am hungry for noodles, rice or mashed potatoes. I have even served it on slices of white bread (very low brow but very tasty).
Leftovers are easily frozen and used in things like a manhattan or in beef soup. I used my extras in soup this time. If I have a chance I will try to get that posted for you within a few days.

I’m a sucker for a good pot roast and this one sounds scrumptious! The beer and the garlic with that rich beef. I’m totally drooling.
