Should You Sear the Beef First?
You can.
Searing the seasoned beef in a hot skillet before wrapping it in bacon can add a deeper browned flavor to the outside.
However, it isn’t essential. If you’re prioritizing convenience, you can place the seasoned, bacon-wrapped sirloin directly into the slow cooker.
If you do sear it, make sure the pan is hot enough to brown the surface quickly without cooking the center excessively.
Delicious Side Dishes
Bacon-wrapped sirloin pairs wonderfully with classic comfort-food sides.
Try serving it with:
- Creamy mashed potatoes
- Roasted baby potatoes
- Buttered egg noodles
- Green beans
- Roasted carrots
- Steamed broccoli
- Creamed spinach
- Corn
- Dinner rolls
- Simple garden salad
For a holiday-style dinner, add mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and gravy made from the flavorful cooking juices.
