Ok, thanks, found an old recipe. Have put it in the regular oven in an oven bag, seasoned and with mustard, set on 150. Will see how it goes.

Oven bag is easy and makes it less mess to clean up

Cook it as you would with the crockpot but either in the oven in a casserole, slow and low temp - same thing you know. Or pot roast in a dutch oven type on the element. IN the oven is easier, you can turn it right down and leave it all day. See - crockpots were made to imitate that type of thing.

"IN the oven is easier, you can turn it right down and leave it all day. See - crockpots were made to imitate that type of thing." No they weren't. They work on a completely different process. An oven ROASTS using dry heat. a crockpot uses STEAM and heat to slow cook .

excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a bolar roast! in know its beef, but does the bolar part refer to a certain type of cut! i am pretty inexperianced with the ol' kiwi roast tradition!

The word intrigued me so I looked it up and found this: "What's a bolar roast! It's a cut from the shoulder area (blade or forequarter) and is suitable for roasting or braising. An online meat company describes it as follows: 'The bolar blade comes from the shoulder and is the ideal cut for a beef pot roast. It has a lot of connective tissue that softens and becomes tender when simmered gently for a long period of time.'
It's just a common old piece of what we call stuffed steak.Carefully cut a pocket in one side, stuff with filling of your choice and roast.Take care not to overcook or it will dry out

I just roll mine oiled, in a peppercorn/herb mix and roast at 220 for 20 or so mins and then turn down to slow roast.for another 30 mins and turn oven off and leave it in there in residual heat. rest on bench. nice pinky (no blood) roast beef.

I roast mine slowly (150 deg) wrapped in tinfoil after stuffing with whole garlic cloves, divine!
