Ingredients

  • 3 lb tri-tip roast (trimmed)
  • 2 tbsp steak seasoning
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 cups beef broth (or beef bouillon dissolved in 2 cups of hot water)
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Sprinkle both sides of trimmed tri-tip with steak seasoning.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over med-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Sear on side of tri-tip for 4-5 minutes. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil, flip the meat, and sear on other side for another 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Place seared tri-tip in a 6 qt slow cooker. Pour the beef broth into the hot skillet and scrape up the seared bits with a spatula. Pour broth into the slow cooker.

  4. 4

    Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Start checking it at 6 hours. When prodded with a fork, it should fall apart easily. If it is still a bit tough, continue cooking for up to 8 hours.

  5. 5

    Once very tender, use two forks to shred the meat right in the slow cooker. Add cream and cook on high for 30 minutes with the lid partially removed (this will allow steam to escape so the sauce can thicken slightly).
