Slow Cooker Roast Marinade/Sauce

Tri-tip roasts were onsale from 6.99 per lb to
ONLY 2.99 PER POUND!
So I got a big ole' tri-tip roast
trimmed the fat
and then decided I would mix and match
between a few meat marinade recipes I have.

I browned the meat in a frying pan.
While it browned I preheated the crock pot.
When it was browned on both sides I peppered both sides
and put it in the hot crock pot.

In the pan with the browned scrapings
I added a little light-tasting olive oil
and put in a whole pack of frozen pearl onions.
Once those had begun to sizzle
I added a pack of baby carrots.
I let those cook down
and got the onions thawed.
I added one clove of minced garlic, and
I dumped all that onto the meat in the pot.

Then in the same pan I added a lil' more olive oil,
and cooked up some baby golden potatoes.
I added quite a bit of salt, and let them
begin to cook up, on low heat.

While those cooked up
I made the marinade/sauce:
3/4 c Red Wine
4 Tbsp Molasses
2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp curry powder
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 pack of Onion Soup Mix
I whisked it all together
poured it over the veggies and meat
in the crock pot.
I stirred up the potatoes,
and then put them in the crock pot too.

I left the crock pot on high for 3 hours.

Then just before it was time to eat
I spooned out all the potatoes
poured the second 1/2 of the Onion Soup Mix
on them, tossed them in the powder
and broiled them for 3 minutes.

YES FRIENDS IT WAS QUITE SIMPLE
and it was SO YUMMY!
