Prepare the Silan French Roast
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat a braiser over medium heat. Add onions, stir frequently, and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add onion soup mix, salt and pepper. Deglaze the pan with stock, scraping all the stuck-on bits (loads of flavor in there). Add the silan and bring to a boil. Add the garlic and roast; spoon sauce over the meat. Cover and transfer to the oven.
Cook low and slow for 90 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and flip the meat over. Return to the oven and cook another two hours. Slice and sauce extra sauce over each slice.

Looks so yum! Can I make this in a crockpot?
Anyone?
Sina says:
I've never done it before but it should work if you sear the meat and put in the crockpot then continue to make the sauce and pour it over the meat. I'd cook it low for at least 5-6 hours or until fork tender.
Thank you! That’s exactly what I would do. Wasn’t sure if a French roast would work the same as a brisket. I’m assuming I can cook in advance and freeze?
Yes!
Can you provide info on what to do once the meat is cooked: how to prepare it to freeze and how defrost, reheat and serve?
What do you recommend I use instead of onion soup mix as I am allergic?
You can use a combination of seasoning such as granulated garlic, granulated onion, dehydrated onion flakes, and dried parsley.
you say low and slow but 350 is not low 250 300 is slow and you cook it for 3 1/2 hours on 350? and do you cover the meat the 2nd time for 2 hours?
You can lower temp temp to 325 and cook it longer (around 4.5 hours) or do 350 for 3.5 hours. It also depends on the thickness of your meat, so check it during the last hour. A knife should be able to easily slide through.
yes cover it the whole time
I make this , similar to this but i sear the meat first, add the onions back and then create the liquid and add the rest…. Sonetimes mushrooms …. A drop of red wine…. I love french roast… have done this with brisket too. Yummy!!!
