ingredients
- 1360.77 g beef roast
- 3 slice bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces (I use a scissor to save time)

- 4.92 ml oregano, to taste
- 2.46 ml thyme, to taste
- 14.79 ml red wine vinegar
directions
- Using a sharp, thin knife (like a boning knife), create deep holes in the meat, inserting the quartered pieces of garlic and bacon.
- Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic and salt first, then add paprika, parsley, olive oil and vinegar.
- Rub this mixture all over the roast.
- Put the roast into the crockpot and cook on low 7-10 hours, or until done.
- Note: if you like, you can also add 1/2 glass red wine about 1 hour before the roast is done.
- You can substitute a pork sirloin roast for the beef too, mmmmm.

Canarygirl, this one ought to be number one in place of my "To Die For" roast! I had people over for dinner and we all devored this! I don't have a motar and pestle, so I used a fork and a bowl and a little elbow grease and it worked fine! I didn't think my paprika was "smoky" enough so I added a dash of liquid smoke. All of the spices and seasonings produce a very exotic tasting roast! I can't wait for lunch...there was just enough meat left over for a sandwhich!

This is so good and so easy to prepare. I didn't have any thyme, so I left it out. The next time I will cut back on the paprika - it was pretty strong tasting for me. When the roast was done, I added some beef broth to the juices and thickened it with flour and water which made the most wonderful tasting gravy. Overall, a great recipe!

This was a wonderful change from the beef crock pot recipes that all taste like stew! I had a little trouble inserting the bacon into the roast, so I just draped some of it over the top. Also, I am really rushed in the morning, so I put it together the night before and just dropped the crock in in the morning. I will definitely make this again.

Very delicious roast. I have never made a roast in the crockpot before and I couldn't believe how much gravy there was! I used beef fry instead of bacon to make it kosher and left off the parsley (just didn't have it). Next time I will take your suggestion and add the red wine. Thanks canarygirl for another great recipe!
