Ingredients
-
1 sirloin tip roast (about 3–4 pounds, preferably well-marbled)
-
1 pound baby potatoes, halved if large
-
4 to 5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
-
1 onion, sliced
-
2 cups beef broth
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening the gravy)
Instructions
-
Place the halved potatoes, chopped carrots, and sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker to form a base.
-
Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub all sides with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
-
Set the seasoned roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the beef broth and soy sauce. Pour this mixture evenly over the roast and veggies.
-
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or high for 4 to 6 hours. Cooking on low is ideal for the most tender results.
-
Once the roast is fork-tender and shreds easily, remove it along with the vegetables.
-
To make a quick gravy (optional), whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the slurry into the leftover cooking juices and turn the slow cooker to high. Simmer for 5–10 minutes until thickened.
-
Slice or shred the roast and serve hot with the vegetables and gravy, if using.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, sear the roast in a hot skillet before adding to the slow cooker.
-
Leftovers store well and make great sandwiches or hash the next day.
-
You can substitute sweet potatoes or parsnips for the carrots and baby potatoes.
-
For a richer gravy, stir in a tablespoon of butter at the end.
