Taste of Home’s Slow-Cooker Sirloin Roast with Gravy

I haven’t made a slow-cooker recipe in a few weeks and I had a lot to do today so it was a perfect day to use it. I didn’t have the brown the meat and the prep took a maximum of 5 minutes before I started the slow-cooker. I didn’t even check it for 5 hours. I made a little slice into the middle of it at that time to make sure it was cooked through. It was still a little pink but warm even in the middle. I took the meat out, covered it in foil to keep it warm, and then drained the juices through a fine sieve and into a saucepan. I used this to make the gravy which took only a few minutes to thicken up very nicely. I loved the dark color of the gravy–it looked so good!

The meat sliced so easily and I sliced it pretty thin. I made my own Roasted Potatoes in the oven and served them alongside a dinner roll and steamed broccoli. The meat was very tasty and the gravy added nice flavor although it was a little vinegary and I think something that could cut that a little bit would make it even better although I still enjoyed it. Now I have leftovers for sandwiches tomorrow for both of us too. Here’s my sirloin roast: #tasteofhome
