2 teaspoons salad oil
1 beef eye of round roast (3.5-4 lbs) trimmed of fat
2 medium size onions, cut into eighths
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup apple cider or apple juice
2 tablespoons light molasses
2 tablespoons cornstarch blended with 2 tablespoons water
Heat oil in wide nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat; add
beef and brown well on all sides. Meanwhile, in 4-quart or larger
electric slow cooker, combine onions, celery, and garlic; sprinkle
with allspice, ginger, and pepper. In a small bowl, mix cider and
molasses. Place beef on top of onion mixture; pour in cider mixture.
Cover and cook at low setting until beef is very tender when pierced
(9.5-10 hours). Lift roast to a warm platter and keep warm. Skim
and discard fat from cooking liquid. Blend in cornstarch mixture.
Increase heat to high; cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until
sauce is thickened (about 15 minutes). Serve meat sliced and with
sauce spooned over.
