  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 pounds beef roast, rump, chuck or arm cut
  • 1½ teaspoons dill seed
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
  • ¼ cup beef stock, low-sodium
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 3 onions, peeled and cut into eighths
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 celery stalks, with tops, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • Cooking juices from beef
  • 3 tablespoons unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard

Preparation

  1. Combine flour with salt and pepper. Coat beef with flour mixture, shaking off ex- cess. Heat oil in a Cuisinart® 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat; brown beef on all sides. Transfer to platter or cutting board; cool for a few moments. Rub mustard evenly over all sides of the beef.
  2. Place onions, carrots, celery, garlic, dill seed and peppercorns in the ceramic pot of the Cuisinart® Slow Cooker. Top with the mustard-coated beef. Pour in stock and vinegar. Cover and press the on/off button to turn the unit on. Set time to 10 to 12 hours and press Low; slow cooker will automatically switch to Warm when cook- ing time has elapsed.
  3. Remove beef, transfer to storage container, strain and discard vegetables. Pour cooking juices over beef; cover and refrigerate overnight. One hour before serving, remove beef (reserve juices), and cut off visible fat. Place in a small roasting pan and reheat at 325°F for 30 to 45 minutes. Strain cooking juices into a Cuisinart®
  4. 2¾-quart saucepan; discard fat. Add flour, mustard and dill; stir over medium heat until sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat, cool briefly and stir in sour cream. Taste for seasoning and add ¼ teaspoon salt if desired. Cut meat into thin slices; pour some sauce over the top and pass the rest in a sauceboat.
