Easy Flavor Variations
Garlic Herb Sirloin
Add fresh minced garlic, rosemary, and parsley to the seasoning mixture for a more herb-forward flavor.
Maple Bacon Beef
For a slightly sweet and savory combination, brush a small amount of maple syrup over the bacon before the final browning step.
Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Sirloin
Add smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, or a little cayenne to the seasoning.
Mushroom Sirloin
Add sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker around the beef. They’ll absorb some of the savory cooking liquid as they soften.
Onion and Herb Version
Add sliced onions, thyme, and rosemary around the roast for a simple aromatic base.
Can You Make the Roast Ahead?
You can season and wrap the sirloin with bacon several hours ahead of cooking. Keep the prepared beef refrigerated until you’re ready to cook it.
You can also prepare the cooking-liquid mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it separately.
Avoid leaving raw beef at room temperature while preparing other parts of the meal.
