Description

Simple tri-tip roast in the crockpot. Just combine the roast with a few ingredients in the slow cooker and four hours later, dinner will be ready!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed, divided
2 1/4 pounds seasoned beef loin tri-tip roast
1 medium yellow onion, halved and sliced
1/2 cup water
1 beef bouillon, crumbled
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch adobo seasoning (such as Goya®), or more to taste

Directions

1 Coat the inside of a slow cooker with about 1 tablespoon oil.
2 Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add roast and sear until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Cook and stir onion in the hot skillet during the last 5 minutes. Transfer roast to the slow cooker, reserving onion in the skillet.
3 Pour water into the skillet. Add bouillon, garlic, and adobo seasoning; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture over roast.
4 Cover and cook on High until roast is firm and reddish-pink in the center, about 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium.
