    I made my first standing rib beef roast last Christmas using your recipe. It was delicious, and a "hit" with my family. Last week, I made your recipe for slow cooker pot roast. It was, in a word, terrible. I was skeptical about the combination of thyme, rosemary, garlic and red wine in a slow cooker with beef, and I was not wrong. I carefully and thoroughly seared the roast in avocado oil, and followed the recipe exactly. The meat came out as if it had been boiled to death and the seasonings combined with the wine to give everything – the meat, the vegetables and the resultant liquid an off-putting metallic taste. It really was awful, and we threw out 95% of it. As good as most of your recipes are – and I have successfully prepared and enjoyed many of them – I have learned a lesson about beef: red wine with certain seasonings is going to result in an acrid flavor being imparted to the meat. And, too much liquid with a roast ruins the flavor initially imparted by careful searing. I will try this recipe for beed tenderloin, but no way any rosemary or thyme is getting anywhere near it, and very little garlic. Beef, properly done, needs no more seasoning than salt and pepper. In my experience. Happy Holidays!

    Hi Lisa, it looks so delicious! But I do have a question about the garlic. When you mince the garlic, you cut the pieces off and then put in the next garlic clove. But wouldn't it be easier to just put in the next clove and cut it off when you put in the last garlic clove? Or does it have a reason you cut each clove? I'm just curious!

    Yumm – Now I have a tip for you & all of your viewers. To avoid the loss of juice, pooling under the meat, "always" let the meat rest on a rack, just like you do with baked goods.
    This way the juice stays in the meat. I learned this tip from Reverse Searing Steaks.
    It works brilliantly. Even for fowl meats.
