Instructions

  • Preparation
  • Prep your veggies. Chop your potatoes into quarters, and your onions in about ½ in pieces. Leave the baby carrots whole. Slice your garlic cloves as thin as possible.
  • Add your tenderloin into your crock pot. Add your onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, paprika and evenly distribute your rosemary around the tenderloin.
  • In a measuring cup measure out about 125ml of water. Add your brown gravy mix and mix thoroughly; Add in the rest of your water and throw that into your crock pot with the tenderloin and seasonings.
  • Add in the veg and combine everything well. Make sure to keep your tenderloin submerged in the broth.
  • Cook on low for 5 hours.
  • An hour before serving remove your tenderloin and turn your slow cooker to high to allow the veggies to get more tender.
  • While the veggies cook down more, grab 2 cups of the broth from the slow cooker. In a medium saucepan on medium heat add your bacon grease or butter, flour, and seasonings.
  • Once you see a roux start forming slowly add in the broth, continually stirring until the gravy begins to thicken, adjust according to your taste.
  • Heat a large skillet on high heat. Add in your neutral cooking oil. Once the oil begins to move around like water plop in your roast. We are going to give it a nice sear before serving. Give it 3-4 minutes on each side before allowing it to rest on a cutting board. Slice however you like.
  • Plate the meat and veggies, top with gravy and some extra broth from the slow cooker if you wish!
  • Enjoy!
