For an even deeper flavor, sear the tri-tip roast in a hot skillet with a little olive oil before placing it in the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the beefy notes. If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the roast from the slow cooker after cooking and set aside to rest. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker juices and cook on High for 10-15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your liking. Return the roast to the slow cooker to warm through before serving. Serve this succulent tri-tip roast with a side of fluffy white rice, mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta to soak up all the delicious gravy. Steamed green beans or a crisp salad would also make excellent accompaniments.
