Instructions
1. Prepare the Creamy Filling
In a bowl, mix the blue cheese and cream cheese until smooth and spreadable. Small crumbles are fine—they add extra flavor.
2. Butterfly the Beef Roast
Place the roast on a cutting board and slice horizontally (without cutting all the way through) so it opens like a book.
3. Stuff the Roast
Spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the inside, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the roast back together.
4. Tie and Secure
Use kitchen twine to tie the roast at intervals, keeping the filling inside while cooking.
5. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker to create a rich, flavorful jus.
6. Slow Cook to Perfection
Place the roast inside (seam side up).
- Cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or
- HIGH for 4–5 hours
The beef should be tender and juicy.
7. Rest and Slice
Let the roast rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Remove twine and cut into thick slices to reveal the creamy swirl.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with the delicious cooking juices spooned over the top.
