Make super tender and juicy roast beef that ‘melts in your mouth' with minimal ingredients

Sometimes cooking a chunk of beef could be time-consuming and also take lots of energy.

That is why using a slow cooker is the perfect way to cook beef. This will cut down the preparation time of the dish and also you can be ready for slow cooking the night before.

A slow cooker, also popularly called a crock-pot is an electrical kitchen appliance that is utilised for simmering at a lower temperature than the boiling point, and that is how it’s a different cooking method from baking, boiling, and frying.

Slow cooker experts from Swan have shared an “amazing” recipe to cook a “perfect melt-in-the-mouth piece of beef” that will “blow your mind” with nice seasoning using “a minimal amount of ingredients”.

This roast beef recipe takes around 30 minutes to prepare and about seven hours to cook.
