Right now I can't do anything with it until it thaws - the meat I get from my grass-fed farmer are frozen HARD - it takes longer to thaw then frozen meat from the store for some reason.
You might have to marinate it. Those sorts of meats can be tough even with slow roasting. Is it bone-in? If not, you might be able to cut it to fit in the crockpot.
