Instructions
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the sirloin roast on all sides. Resist the urge to flip the roast more than once per side – give it enough time to get brown on its own. When the roast lifts away from the pan easily, it’s ready to flip.
3 pounds sirloin tip roast, 2 tablespoons olive oil
While you sear the roast, chop the vegetables. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters, then trim the celery and cut it into large 3-inch pieces. Give your potatoes a good scrub to remove any dirt. Finally, peel the carrots and chop each one into about three pieces, but don’t worry too much about being precise.
Slowly pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cook the roast on high heat for 6 hours or low heat for 8 hours.
The meat is ready when it is easily pulled apart with a fork. Use two forks to shred the beef right in the Crock Pot and stir it in with the vegetables and the juices that have collected in the Crock Pot.
Notes
