old rugged crossElk roast thawed in fridge. Going to cook tomorrow (Tues.)
The last one I did had good flavor but was a bit tough. Need suggestions on cooking it. I have all day if need be.
The last time i did it in the slow cooker. Potatoes, carrots, onion, etc.
I would like to impress the lady and have a killer meal. Suggestions.
I could smoke it on an electric smoker I have. Not sure about that though.
Go ahead and help a brutha out.
Thanks guys and gals.

hray I use this all the time with deer or beef It's great. To this I add mushrooms, onion, celery, and couple shakes of crushed red pepper flakes. It doesn't disappoint. When done the meat will be tender and kind of shred apart. Put it over rice, egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or nothing.

Season it up and add aromatics and vacuum seal it up. Then put it in a 130 degree water bath for 24 hours. When it's time to eat toss it on a grill or oiled skillet to sear the outside and you're ready to eat.

old rugged crossIt was very good. The roast itself was not tough but firm. Not like a pot roast. All the seasonings used seemed to cook themselves out. It was a 7.5 on a scale of 10. not the best I have ever had. But good. Will see how the let overs eat

hrayI haven't added potatoes from the start. We will put it over a starch cooked separately. I think the potatoes when cooking it from start act like a sponge and suck up the liquid and seasoning. Hray
