Helpful Tips and Tricks

Preparing the Crock Pot

  1. Pick one stoneware crock pot based on the biggest amount of meat you cook (for when you have guests over) and one based on the maximum amount of dish you can consume on your own – this will give you enough room for your ingredients whether you’re eating alone or with other people.
  2. Remember to brush the crock pot with oil or use cooking spray or to prevent your ingredients from sticking.
  3. Use a spoon (a wooden one if you have one with nonstick coating) to combine all of the ingredients together before setting the temperature and timer.
  4. Cover the pot and wait for your meal to finish.

Preparing the Top Sirloin

  1. Always season your steak cuts before you add them to the pot so they don’t cook bland.
  2. Cut large pieces into smaller cubes (aim for equal chunks) so they cook faster and more evenly.
  3. Make sure you add the ingredients that cook longer first and then add the ones that burn fast last.
  4. Don’t forget to stir everytime you add new ingredients to the pot to make sure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  5. Always check for doneness before serving – you can take a bite or use an easy read thermometer.
