Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 lb tri-tip roast
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 med carrots (peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut 2" long)
  • 1 med yellow onion (cut in 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes (whole)
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the tri-tip roast with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add one tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the tri-tip in the skillet and sear each side for around 3 minutes or until browned. You may need to add more oil to the skillet if necessary.
  • Place the carrots, onions, and potatoes in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Then, place the tri-tip roast on top.
  • Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, brown sugar, and tomato paste in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined and pour over the roast and vegetables. Then, place the bay leaves on top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • Remove the bay leaves and use a fork to pull apart the roast into large pieces or slice it into thick pieces. You can serve the meat with the juices or make gravy using the remaining liquid.
