Time 8h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 (3 pound) beef tri-tip roast, fat layer left untrimmed
2 teaspoons garlic pepper seasoning (such as SuzyQ's Santa Maria Valley Style Seasoning®), or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 onions, chopped
2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 ½ cups white wine
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Season the tri-tip roast with garlic pepper seasoning on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and sear the roast on all sides until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Place the tri-tip roast into the slow cooker, fatty side up.
  • Cook and stir the garlic and onions in the hot skillet until golden brown, about 10 minutes, and season with the ancho chile pepper, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Place seasoned garlic and onions over the roast in the cooker, and pour in the white wine and crushed tomatoes. Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until tender, about 8 hours.
  • Remove roast from the cooker, and cut off the fatty layer with a sharp knife (tender meat should cut easily). Place the roast back into the cooker, and shred meat with two forks. If desired, remove some of the liquid from the meat. Stir in cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose a good cut of tri-tip roast. Look for one that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the roast generously with your favorite spices. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the meat.
  • Sear the roast in a hot skillet before cooking it in the slow cooker. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Add some liquid to the slow cooker along with the roast. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook the roast on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Shred the meat with two forks and serve it on tacos, burritos, or nachos.

Conclusion:

Shredded tri-tip is a versatile and delicious dish that can be used in a variety of recipes. It is a great way to use up leftover roast beef, and it is also a budget-friendly option. Whether you are serving it on tacos, burritos, or nachos, shredded tri-tip is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
