During the hectic holiday season, I make this roast a lot. We've scarfed it down before and after shopping, and while wrapping presents. Root vegetables and roast beef make everyone feel cozy and calm. —Pat Dazis, Charlotte, North Carolina



Test Kitchen Tips
  • The flavor of chai tea varies quite a bit by brand. We tested this recipe with Twinings, and it added a subtle spiced flavor.
  • If you want stronger chai flavor, use more tea bags rather than steeping longer. Too much steeping can turn the flavor bitter.
  • For lump-free gravy, be sure to mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. If you start with lumps, you'll end up with lumps!

    Directions

    1. In a small saucepan, bring broth to a boil; remove from heat. Add tea bags; steep, covered, 3-5 minutes according to taste. Discard tea bags. Meanwhile, combine vegetables in a 6-qt. slow cooker.
    2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown roast on all sides. Place roast over vegetables; pour tea-steeped broth over the top. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper; top with lemon slices. Cook, covered, on low until beef and vegetables are tender, 7-9 hours.
    3. Discard lemon slices. Remove roast and vegetables from slow cooker; keep warm.
    4. Transfer cooking juices to a saucepan; skim off fat. Bring juices to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into juices. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with roast and vegetables.
