Description

This marinated rump roast is perfectly cooked on a bed of vegetables until fall-apart tender and delicious in this easy slow cooker recipe.

Ingredients

3/4 cup red wine, divided
7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch garlic salt
1 (2 1/2 pound) rump roast
1 tablespoon salted butter
5 medium carrots, halved
5 stalks celery, cut into large chunks
1 cup vegetable broth
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
1 large bunch fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Whisk 1/4 cup wine, 3 tablespoons oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt, Italian seasoning, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and garlic salt together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add rump roast, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
2 Remove roast from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
3 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add roast; sear, turning to brown all sides, about 10 minutes.
4 Place roast in a slow cooker. Add carrots, celery, broth, onion, parsley, remaining 1/2 cup wine, remaining 4 tablespoons oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on Low heat until roast is fall-apart tender, 9 to 10 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
