Fred's Crockpot Tri-Tip Roast
This comes from a good friend, and this recipe has been featured in "Louisiana Cookin" Magazine and it is that good. This recipe calls for a tri-tip roast, but Fred assures me, any cut of beef will work. I made this on 11 May 2016, excellent. My comments below. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Cuisine American
- 1 1/2-2 kilo tri-tip roast, OR any cut of beef
- 8 red potatoes, small to medium in size, diced
- 2-4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 1 3/4 cups beef stock, use fresh or from the powder
- 1/2 cup red or white wine
- 2 tablespoons Worcherstershire sauce
- 2 bay leaves
- Cajun spice mix, OR make from a shortcut on this site, this is to rub the roast
Rub the roast on all sides with Cajun spice mix, or herbs of your choice, and place the roast, covered, in the refrigerator for at least an hour or up to overnight to allow the beef to absorb the spices.
After the marinating time, placed the diced potatoes, onion, and half the garlic in the bottom of your slow cooker and mix together. Set the roast on top of the potato mixture.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry onion soup packet, bay leaves, beef stock, wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the liquid mixture over the roast. Sprinkle on remaining minced garlic on the roast and potato mixture.
Cook on Low setting for 7 1/2 to 8 hours, serve with your choice of sides.
Beef will run about 150 Baht/kilo, a 2 kilo roast would be 300 Baht, everything else in minimal. This comes out to about $1.10 per serving for 8 servings, very reasonable.
