Why Choose Bone-In Alberta Beef Roasts?
Cooking with the bone in makes a real difference. The bone adds rich flavour and helps keep your roast moist and tender. As it cooks, all that goodness from the bone infuses into the meat, giving you that classic, comforting taste – no extra work required. Plus, Alberta Beef is known for its quality, raised right here at home.
Simple Ways to Cook a Bone-In Alberta Beef Roast in Your Slow Cooker
You don’t need to be a chef to make a delicious roast. Here are a few easy ways to get started. All you need is your favourite bone-in Alberta Beef roast like a Cross Rib Roast or a Chuck Roast, and a slow cooker:
1. Classic & Simple
Place your roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add water or beef broth (about 1 cup). Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until tender.
2. Veggie Boost
Add chopped carrots, onions, and potatoes around your roast. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried herbs (like thyme or rosemary). Pour in about a cup of beef broth. Cook on low for 8 hours.
3. Savoury & Sweet
Place your roast in the slow cooker. Add a sliced onion, a few garlic cloves, and a couple tablespoons of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce. Toss in a handful of baby carrots or apples for a hint of sweetness and a cup of water so it doesn’t dry out. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
4. Family-Friendly Flavours
Put your roast in the slow cooker with a can of diced tomatoes, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and some chopped bell peppers. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours.
Prep time: just 5–10 minutes. Cooking time: 7–8 hours on low. Most ideas are naturally gluten-free-just check your broth or sauces to be sure!
