๐ FULL RECIPE BELOW ๐
๐ INGREDIENTS
- 1 sirloin tip roast, about 2ยฝโ3 lb
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, optional
- ยฝ teaspoon black pepper
- 3โ4 carrots, cut into chunks
- 4โ5 potatoes, cut into large pieces
- 1 medium onion, sliced
๐ฉโ๐ณ INSTRUCTIONS
1๏ธโฃ Prepare the roast
Pat the sirloin tip roast dry with paper towels.
Season lightly with black pepper.
If youโd like extra flavor, heat the olive oil in a skillet and quickly brown the roast on all sides. This step is optional, but browning can add a deeper roasted flavor.
2๏ธโฃ Prepare the slow cooker
Place the carrots, potatoes, and sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Set the roast on top of the vegetables.
3๏ธโฃ Make the sauce
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Beef broth
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Onion soup mix
- Brown gravy mix
Pour the mixture over the roast.
4๏ธโฃ Slow cook
Cover the slow cooker.
Cook on LOW for approximately 6โ8 hours, or until the roast reaches the desired tenderness and a food thermometer confirms it has reached a safe temperature.
Cooking time varies according to the size and shape of the roast and the slow cooker.
5๏ธโฃ Rest the meat
Carefully remove the roast and place it on a cutting board.
Let it rest for approximately 10โ15 minutes before slicing.
This gives the juices time to redistribute.
6๏ธโฃ Make the gravy
Stir the cooking liquid and vegetables gently.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, transfer some of the liquid to a saucepan and simmer it until it reaches the consistency you like.
Slice the beef against the grain and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
๐ฒ EASY SLOW-COOKER METHOD
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity:
Layer โ Pour โ Cover โ Cook โ Rest โ Slice โ Enjoy! ๐
No complicated techniques are required.
๐ฅ OPTIONAL BROWNING METHOD
Although you can place the roast directly into the slow cooker, browning it first gives the outside a deeper, more savory flavor.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil, and brown each side for a few minutes.
Then transfer the roast to the slow cooker.
๐ A LITTLE HISTORY
Slow cooking has been used in many cultures for generations.
Before modern kitchen appliances, families often cooked tougher cuts of meat slowly in covered pots so that extended cooking could make them more tender while allowing vegetables, herbs, and broth to develop a rich flavor.
The modern slow cooker brought that same basic idea into busy households, making long, gentle cooking much easier.
