Peppered Cross Rib Roast Recipe

Tender, juicy, and peppery, this Peppered Beef Cross Rib Roast only takes about 15 minutes to prep. Then relax while the scent of roasting beef fills the house. This is a great option for a holiday meal or a dinner party.

Preparing a cross rib roast is incredibly simple and the results are always delicious.   A cross-rib roast is a cut from the Chuck section or shoulder portion of the carcass.  It is also known as the Chuck Shoulder Roast and has great marbling that yields the most flavorful roast.  It’s best prepared braised, or dry roasted low and slow.

The cross rib roast is my family’s favorite beef cut for a roast and when it goes on sale for under $4.00/lb, I always buy 2 – one for the crockpot and one for the freezer.

The cross rib roast recipe below combines peppercorns, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and seasonings and you braise the meat in 2 cups of water for 3.5 to 4 hours.  You can also use a slow cooker and achieve the same result without heating the whole house with the oven.

The result is a fork-tender beef roast that tastes as amazing as it smells when it’s cooking.  For my family of 5, I purchase a 3.5 lb cross rib roast and we always have leftovers that I re-purpose for meals throughout the week.
