Tri-Tip Roast with Vegetables and Potatoes

This is what we had for dinner tonight . . . which was perfect to come home to at 4:30 on a Fast Sunday!

Servings 4-6 (depending on size of roast and how much you eat)

1 tri tip roast 
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/8 Cup Olive Oil
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper
½ Cup Water
1 Tbsp Beef Bouillon
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 potatoes, chopped

In a small bowl combine 1/8 cup of olive oil, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder. Rub all over tri tip.
Put tri tip FAT SIDE UP in the crock pot and add ½ cup of water and 1 Tbsp of beef bouillon. (Better than Bullion paste works wonderfully)
Cover tri tip with carrots, onion, celery and potatoes.
Put lid on crock pot and set on high. Let cook 4-6 hours (depending on crock pot and size of roast).   Tri tip will fall apart like a pot roast when done.  You should be able to shred it with a fork.

I have never thought of cooking a tri tip in the crock pot. That sound great. I will have to give it a try. Thanks Ri.
