✨Substitutions & variations

Here are a few suggestions on additional flavors to try, or simple variations to this recipe.

• Swap the beef cut. Swap sirloin tip roast with a chuck roast or rump roast.
• Use different veggies. Add sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, or add things like peas for more protein and color.
• Swap the liquid. Use red wine or tomato juice instead of beef broth for more flavor.
• Use soy sauce. If you don't have any Worcestershire sauce, some soy sauce can help add some umami flavor to the roast.
• Swap the vinegar. If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can use red wine vinegar, white vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
• Use a different thickening agent for the gravy. If you'd like, you can use xanthan gum or all-purpose flour to thicken the gravy instead of cornstarch.

🔪Prep work

• Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
• If your slow cooker doesn't have a searing function, preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Measure out all remaining ingredients. 

Combine 1.5 tablespoons of kosher salt and all of the dry seasonings to make a dry rub for the roast. Reserve some of the salt for later.

Combine mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the seasoning blend and cover the roast on all sides. (Image 1)

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a hot skillet or in your slow cooker (if it has a saute function) then sear the roast on all sides for roughly 3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet. (Image 2)

Slow cook for an additional 2-3 hours on high, or 4-6 hours on low. Remove the roast, potatoes, and carrots from the slow cooker, and set aside. Allow the roast to rest for about 10 minutes before shredding the beef. Discard the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and rosemary sprigs.

Take the cornstarch and some of the cooking liquid and mix them together in a separate bowl until there are no lumps. (This is known as making a slurry).

Add the slurry to the leftover liquid in the slow cooker, and simmer until the gravy reaches your desired thickness level. (Image 9)

✨Pro Tip: You'll know the gravy is ready when it coats the back of the spoon.

Using two forks, shred the tender beef into large chunks. Now, drizzle the roast, potatoes, and carrots with veggies mashed potatoes, or a side of vegetables. Enjoy!
