A hearty and flavorful slow-cooked beef roast infused with the rich taste of ale and aromatic herbs.
Heat the canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the beef to achieve a good sear.
Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned.
Browning the beef enhances the flavor of the dish.
Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker.
Use tongs to handle the hot beef safely.
Add the ale, sliced onions, soy sauce, black pepper, and dried basil to the slow cooker.
Stir gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
Cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low and cook for 5-6 hours until the beef is tender.
Check the beef occasionally to ensure it remains submerged in the liquid.
Serve the beef with its juices and your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
