Total Time: 8 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs boneless tip roast
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary) for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the boneless tip roast from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature, which helps ensure even cooking.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season generously on all sides with salt and pepper, creating a flavorful outer crust.
- Slice the onion into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves. Spread the onion slices evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker to create a flavorful base for the roast.
- Place the seasoned roast on top of the onion slices in the slow cooker. Sprinkle minced garlic around and over the meat.
- Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce around the sides of the roast, being careful not to wash away the seasoning.
- Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat. Cook for 7-8 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and absorb the surrounding flavors.
- After cooking time is complete, carefully remove the roast and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Optional: Strain and skim the remaining liquid to create a quick au jus or gravy.
- Garnish with fresh thyme and rosemary before serving. Slice and serve with your favorite side dishes.
Tips
- • Temperature Matters: Always let your roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.• Pat Dry for Perfect Seasoning: Use paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps create a delicious, flavorful crust when seasoning.• Don't Rush the Cooking: Low and slow is the secret to tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. Resist the urge to increase the temperature.• Slicing Technique: Always slice against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing.• Flavor Boosters: Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary aren't just garnish - they add incredible depth to your roast's flavor profile.• Liquid is Key: The beef broth and Worcestershire sauce aren't just for moisture - they're building layers of rich, savory taste.• Rest Time is Crucial: Letting the roast rest 10-15 minutes after cooking allows juices to redistribute, keeping the meat incredibly juicy.
