This recipe for crockpot tri-tip roast is simple. I had read other recipes for cooking a tri-tip roast in a slow cooker, none of which sounded like my goal recipe, so I came up with this one. I used a 2 1/4-pound seasoned tri-tip roast with very little fat.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed, divided

  • 2 ¼ pounds seasoned beef loin tri-tip roast

  • 1 medium yellow onion, halved and sliced

  • ½ 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.
