A tender and flavorful beef loin cooked slowly in a crock pot for a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth meal perfect for any occasion.
3 pounds beef loin roast, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup red wine
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, sliced
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
Pat the beef loin roast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef loin.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef loin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared beef loin to the crock pot.
Add the sliced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic around the beef loin in the crock pot.
Pour beef broth and red wine over the beef and vegetables.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender and reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the beef loin from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced beef loin with the cooked vegetables and spoon some of the cooking liquid over the top.
