This 5-ingredient slow cooker pork sirloin tip roast is the kind of comforting dinner that makes a busy day feel a whole lot easier. Using a raw pork sirloin tip roast and just a handful of pantry staples, you can build rich flavor with almost no hands-on work, then let the crock do the rest. It is a practical family-style meal with that old-fashioned Sunday supper feeling, but simple enough for an ordinary weeknight.
This roast is wonderful served over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or fluffy rice to catch every bit of the savory juices. For vegetables, I like green beans, roasted carrots, corn, or a crisp side salad to round things out. Warm dinner rolls or simple sandwich buns also make a nice addition, especially if you want to pile the tender pork into leftovers the next day.
5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pork Sirloin Tip Roast
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 pork sirloin tip roast, about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions
1. Place the raw pork sirloin tip roast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the dry onion soup mix, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture evenly over the roast.
3. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is very tender and easy to slice or shred.
4. Carefully transfer the roast to a plate or cutting board and keep warm. Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir it into the juices in the slow cooker. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the gravy thickens.
5. Slice or shred the pork, then return it to the slow cooker or serve it on a platter with the thickened gravy spooned over the top.
Variations & Tips
For extra flavor: If you have a few more minutes, sear the roast in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This is completely optional, but it gives the outside a deeper color and a richer, roast-like flavor.
For picky eaters: Serve the pork sliced instead of shredded for a neater look on the plate, and keep the gravy on the side so everyone can add as much or as little as they like. This can make the meal feel a little more familiar for kids and selective eaters.
For a fuller meal: Add baby carrots or small potatoes around the roast at the beginning of cooking. They will soak up the savory juices and turn this simple roast into a one-pot supper.
Storage tip: Leftover pork keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Store it with some of the gravy so it stays moist, then reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
