Instructions

- Carefully place the seasoned sirloin tip roast on top of the onion layer.
- Sprinkle minced garlic over and around the roast.
- Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce around the sides of the roast, ensuring not to wash off the seasonings.
- Cover slow cooker and set to low heat setting for 8 hours.
- After cooking time is complete, carefully remove roast and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Optional: Strain and reserve cooking liquid to use as a delicious au jus or gravy.
- Slice roast into thin pieces and serve with reserved cooking liquid if desired.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always let your roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Pat Dry for Perfect Seasoning: Use paper towels to remove excess moisture from the roast, allowing seasonings to adhere better and create a more flavorful crust.
- Layer for Flavor: The bed of onions isn't just for show - it adds incredible depth of flavor and helps keep the meat moist.
- Don't Wash Away Seasonings: When adding liquid, pour carefully around the sides of the roast to preserve your salt and pepper coating.
- Slice Against the Grain: This is crucial for tender, easy-to-chew meat. Look for the direction of the muscle fibers and cut perpendicular to them.
- Rest is Best: Always let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness.
- Bonus Tip: Save the cooking liquid! It makes an amazing au jus or can be quickly transformed into a rich gravy that will elevate your entire meal.
