Ingredients

  • 1 sirloin tip beef roast (4-lb.)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 medium-size red onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 package baby carrots (16-oz.)
  • 2 bottles lager beer (12-oz.)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1 1/2-3 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Rinse roast, and pat dry. Cut a 1-inch-deep cavity in the shape of an “X” on top of roast. (Do not cut all the way through roast.) Dredge roast in all-purpose flour; shake off excess.
  2. Cook roast in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

  3. Place roast in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Stuff cavity with sliced red onion and minced garlic; top roast with potatoes and baby carrots. Pour beer, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into slow cooker. Sprinkle with parsley, bouillon, and ground pepper. Add bay leaves to liquid in slow cooker.

  4. Cover and cook on LOW 7 to 8 hours or until fork-tender. Shred roast using two forks. Season with salt to taste. Serve in Toasted Bread Bowls, if desired.
