Here’s my recipe for a delicious slow cook roast beef. Without added salt, it is an ideal recipe to easily cook a large, tender and juicy piece of meat.
Renal nutrition
Keep in mind that current recommendations indicate that kidney patients should prioritize plant-based proteins to better preserve their kidney function
.
On the other hand, it is not forbidden to consume a reasonable portion of red meat very occasionally. The goal is not to completely ban a specific type of food.
That’s why I present this slow cooker roast beef recipe for anyone who wants to cook a nice chunk of meat without added salt.
How to Make a Good
Slow
Cook Roast
Beef Here are my tips for making a great slow cooker roast beef
. Sealing the meat
Sealing the meat is not a mandatory step, but it will have much more flavor when it is scorched than if you put it directly in the slow cooker. Considering there’s no added salt, this little trick that enhances flavor is worth it.
No need for
expensive meat
The real magic of the slow cooker is that it can turn almost any piece of lower-quality meat into a worthy meal
.
It is not necessary to buy an expensive cut of meat. Generally, I purchase discounted boneless lower blade roast when available. Then I put it in the slow cooker the same night so that it is ready the next day to prepare lunches for the following days.
When
you
add the broth to the slow cooker, you might think there’s not enough liquid at the bottom. Don’t worry, that’s exactly how I do it and I never run out of broth while cooking.
It is not necessary to use a large amount of broth for this recipe. During cooking, meat and vegetables will continue to increase the volume of broth.
Variations
Thickening
of the broth
At the end of this recipe, remove the meat from the slow cooker, add cornstarch to thicken the broth, put the piece of meat back and cook it again for 30 minutes semi-covered. But depending on your preference, it is possible to simply finish cooking without putting the meat back in the slow cooker.
Vegetables
For this recipe, you can use a variety of vegetables. If your diet allows, you can use turnips, potatoes, parsnips, etc.
Broth
As for the broth, it is very easy to modify it. You can use any type of broth or vinegar without salt. You can also replace honey with maple syrup.
It is also possible to add other ingredients such as spices or herbs to customize your broth to your liking.
More flavor
Here are 2 very simple suggestions that significantly increase the flavor of this recipe in exchange for increasing the
sodium content a little.
The first is to spread some Dijon mustard before spreading the garlic on the roast. Dijon mustard will increase the sodium content a little, but it will add a lot of flavor.
The second is to use reduced-sodium meat broth instead of unsalted broth. Since there is not a large volume of broth for the entire recipe, the addition of sodium can be considered reasonable and the taste will greatly improve.
On the other hand, you will have to pay attention to the nutritional values of the broth you will use. Sodium content can vary greatly from brand to brand.
Keep in mind that you can also use reduced-sodium broth diluted with water. From experience, I’ve found that reduced-sodium broth diluted by half generally offers more flavor than undiluted unsalted broth.
Type
of meat
It is also possible to replace the roasted pallet with another piece of meat. For example, you could wear a pig’s shoulder.
Conservation
A slow-cooked meat shoulder roast can be kept for 3 days in the refrigerator or about 3 months in the freezer.
