Crockpot Tri-Tip with Onion Gravy
Crockpot Tri-Tip with Onion Gravy is a delicious and convenient slow-cooked dish that features a flavorful cut of beef, known as tri-tip, cooked to tender perfection in a crockpot or slow cooker. Tri-tip is a triangular muscle cut from the bottom sirloin of the beef, and it is well-known for its rich taste and tenderness.
Ingredients
- 2-3 lb Tri-Tip
- 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Cups Beef Stock
- 2 Onions sliced
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- Favorite Steak Seasoning or a mix of Salt Pepper, and Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
Instructions
- Trim any tough fat from the Tri-Tip and pat it dry. Lightly coat it with olive oil and generously season all sides with your preferred steak seasoning or a mix of salt, coarse pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, sear the Tri-Tip for 3-4 minutes per side or until it achieves a nice brown color.
- Place sliced onions and garlic in the bottom of the crockpot. Put the seared Tri-Tip on top of the vegetables.
- Pour beef broth into the hot pan used for searing, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom. Transfer the broth to the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The Tri-Tip is done when it easily shreds with two forks.
- Shred the Tri-Tip to your desired size. Move the meat to one side of the crockpot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of the broth with cornstarch. Add this mixture to the crockpot broth. Allow it to set for 10 minutes on low to thicken.
- Serve the flavorful Tri-Tip and onion gravy over mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy your delicious slow-cooked meal!
