Pike's Peak roast is a type of pot roast made from a cut of meat low on the round. This cut is tougher than most other roasts and must be cooked at a very low temperature for several hours to increase its tenderness, making this dish perfect when you're expecting to put in a long day at the office. Like other roasts, this classic slow cooker recipe can easily be customized to suit individual tastes.
