Easy and Elegant

Just what you want for a holiday meal--something that tastes like it took a lot of time and effort but it took almost none! This is a Burgundy Peppercorn Beef Roast. Sounds and tastes fancy, is easier than making Hamburger Helper!
I used a 2-pound roast, so adjust the portions accordingly if your roast is bigger.
The first method involves marinating the roast in the fridge overnight. A large Ziploc bag works well for a smaller roast.
Take a 2-3 pound roast, frozen. In small bowl blend 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1 cup burgundy wine for cooking. Dredge roast in mixture. Grind fresh black pepper onto roast. Place in large Ziploc bag. Pour remaining liquid into bag with roast. Marinate for 6-8 hours, turning once.
Place roast and liquid in slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until done through.
With the second method, place frozen roast, wine and soy sauce into slow cooker. Grind pepper onto roast. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until done through.
Could it be any easier? And when you taste it you'll want to make it again and again!
Best wishes for your holiday celebrations.

Hope Cujo gets to lick the pot when it is done!

"Dredge" roast in mixture? What does that mean? Do you poke the roast with a fork so the liquid can get into the meat? Or do you just soak it in the liquid overnight in the fridge?

I still need to get a slow cooker. Really. Seems like the perfect lazy device.

Cujo gets to eat the leftovers if Mia doesn't hog them all.

Dredge is just a fancy way to say dip. I read too many cookbooks. But don't cook anything that isn't easy to prepare.
