About

There’s truly no better way to make “gravy” than in a slow cooker. I like the lean round roast here—it’s what my boss at the Italian restaurant always used, ending up with a pot of deeply flavorful marinara and a softball-size hunk of beef that would almost crumble as you sliced it—but a thick chuck roast would be good too.

Ingredients

1 (3-pound/1.4-kg) beef round roast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Main course

Method

Morning

Season the roast all over with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add the roast and cook, turning with tongs, until browned on most of the sides, about 7 minutes total.
