❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Slow Cooker Top Round Roast
1. Can I cook a top round roast on high instead of low?
Yes you can cook it on high for about 3 to 4 hours. But cooking on low for 6 to 8 hours will give you the most tender results. The low and slow method breaks down the connective tissue better.
2. Do I have to sear the roast before putting it in the slow cooker?
Searing is not strictly required but it adds a lot of flavor and a nice brown crust. If you are short on time you can skip it. The roast will still be tender but will have less depth of flavor.
3. How do I store leftover top round roast?
Let the roast cool completely then place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little broth.
4. What can I serve with this top round roast?
Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or egg noodles are all great choices. The cooking liquid makes a wonderful simple gravy to pour over everything. A side salad also works well to balance the meal.
5. Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes you can use chuck roast or bottom round roast. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly. Chuck roast has more marbling and will be very tender. Bottom round is similar to top round and works just as well.
