Ingredients for All I Want Is Meat And Potatoes Sirloin

  • 2 lb sirloin roast
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Sweet Onions
  • Dried Thyme
  • Beef Broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • Unsalted Butter
  • All Purpose Flour

How to Make All I Want Is Meat And Potatoes Sirloin

  1. Pat the sirloin roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  3. Add the sirloin roast and brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the browned roast to a 5-7 quart slow cooker.
  5. Add the chopped onion and thyme to the same skillet and sauté until the onions begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Transfer the onion mixture to the slow cooker.
  7. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker, pouring it around the meat. Add the cubed potatoes, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
  8. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8-9 hours, or until the sirloin is fork-tender.
  9. Remove the meat and potatoes from the slow cooker and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  10. While the meat rests, skim off any excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid in the slow cooker.
  11. (Optional) Transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids for a smoother sauce.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter and flour to create a roux.
  13. Bring the strained cooking liquid to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the butter-flour mixture, a spoonful at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  14. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. Slice the rested sirloin roast against the grain.
  16. Serve the sliced sirloin, potatoes, and onions generously drizzled with the delicious gravy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
