The flavor in this recipe is amazing. I absolutely (and my husband too) loved it. That being said... I pretty much followed the recipe exactly, only i didn't measure the spices, I just added them by hand. Again, the recipe itself is great. The disappointing part was that my roast was awful. It is so tough, I don't know what to do with it. I am going to try shredding it for sandwiches or make fancy tacos from it. I think I over cooked it. I will definitely use this recipe again, I think I will try either a shorter cooking time (I did do the recommended) or using a different cut of meat. The roast itself might be a loss, but hey, my veggies turned out great and taste amazing!Reply

Not a bad solution for what to do with a top round roast. I wish I had used fresh herbs but it turned out pretty well. I used Marsala wine because I didn't have any dry red available and was reluctant to use a sweet wine. I cooked it for about 7.5 hours. Next time I'll serve it at the table with the juice added to the bowl because it did dry out quickly once removed from the crock pot.Reply
