Crock Pot Roast Beef - Cuban Style

Ken bought me a beautiful big slow cooker, which I love, as one of my birthday presents. Now I am looking for slow cooker recipes to expand my knowledge of slow cooking so that I can do it once a week. Please send us your slow cooker recipes to lambroca@comcast.net

Here is the dish that is cooking as we speak for tonight's meal:

Crock Pot Roast Beef - Cuban Style.

Ingredients:

6 lb. eye of round roast
3 chorizo sausages chopped
1/2 lb. chopped ham
2 bacon slices chopped
1/2 C. orange juice
juice of 2 limes
2 large onions sliced
8 garlic cloves minced
6 T. oil
1/2 C. dry sherry
2 large green peppers sliced
2 parsley sprigs chopped
6 bay leaves
4 t. salt
1 t. pepper

Preparation:

Cut a pocket lengthwise in center of beef, leaving opposite ends closed. Mix chorizo, ham, bacon and 4 cloves of garlic and stuff the pocket with it. Tie meat to close with butcher string.

Mix orange juice, lime juice, garlic, pepper, onion, bay leaves, parsley and peppers. Pour over roast and marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.

After marinating, brown roast on all sides, in a heavy pan. Add roast to crock pot. Add sherry and marinating liquid.
