Always stock up at your local grocery store when they put roast on sale. I love using these zip lock bags to freeze roast. I simply cut up large roasts into the size our family uses and freeze them. When I am ready to make it for dinner,  I defrost the roast overnight in the refrigerator, or you can use a frozen roast in this slow cooker recipe

Tri-Tip Roast Ingredients

Other Cuts of Meat You Can Use:

  • Chuck Roast
  • Rump Roast
  • Round Roast
  • Bottom Sirloin Roast
  • Any Flavorful Cut of Beef You Prefer

Tri-Tip Roast Directions

First step is to do a quick sear of your cut of meat in a hot skillet with a little olive oil. This is an easy way to seal in the flavor and only take a few minutes of prep time  and only needs to cook for a couple of minutes.

Second, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and corn starch. Stir in the onion, Herbs de Provence, parsley, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave for about 90 seconds and stir until the corn starch is completely dissolved.

Line the bottom of your slow cooker insert with slices of butter. Next, place your washed potatoes. Then place your prepared carrots and onion. Place roast on top of vegetables and pour over the beef stock mixture. Cook on Low heat for 8 – 10 hours, until the beef roast is fall-apart tender. The low-temperature helps create a tender beef.

You can also use a meat thermometer to check your roast. It should have an internal temperature of around 150 degrees for best results. 

Leftover Recipes:

Our favorite leftover recipe is burrito bowls with sour cream. It has shredded beef and is so good. You can use the same recipe for lettuce wraps if you prefer that.
