Crock Pot Catalina Roast Beef is one of those tender beef recipes that melts in your mouth. Easily made with just a handful of ingredients!TENDER SHREDDED BEEF DINNERThis Crock Pot Catalina Roast Beef is an easy, flavorful twist on a classic pot roast dinner. A chuck roast with hearty vegetables and a flavorful sauce is a great, affordable and filling meal. I know it might sound so weird with the Catalina dressing, but the flavors come together perfectly, giving you tender meat and veggies that so delish! Ive used this combo with chicken thighs where it really amps up the flavor of the meat without specifically tasting the dressing. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:What to serve with Crock Pot Catalina Roast Beef? This is a whole meal in itself, but I think you can really fill bellies by serving it with some Green Beans like I did and then some Dinner Rolls, Garlic Bread, or some other crusty bread to dip in the extra sauce, and add a nice side salad. NEver a bad option to add some bread and salad. What meat can I use instead of chuck roast? A few other options to use are a round roast, rump roast, or a pork shoulder would even work. Any tougher cut of meat will work because we are cooking it slow and for a long time so even those tougher cuts can turn out tender. What else can I add to this crock pot dinner? Want more veggies, try adding parsnips and mushrooms. You could even try green beans or peas during the last hour of cooking. Like some heat? Give this dish a splash of hot sauce or a dash or two of red pepper flakes. Enjoy more herbs? Try adding some fresh thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves to the mix. Can I make a sweeter glaze? Yes, if you want a touch of sweetness, add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar or honey. Do I shred or slice the Roast Beef? Either will work in this recipe. I guess it depends how you want to serve it. But this meat will be super tender and will be very easy to shred with forks or meat shredding claws. If youre going for a classic and clean presentation, go for the traditional slice instead. Should I cook on low or high? I like to cook this on low and let it cook slowly for the full 8 hours so the meat gets super tender. Sometimes when you cook it on high, it comes out more tough. Chuck roast is a tougher cut of meat so it really needs to cook low and slow for best results. This is nt the kind of meat you want to rush along. How to store leftovers? After leftovers have cooled, they should be transferred to an airtight container and can be kept refrigerated for up to 4-5 days. You can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
