Bacon Wrapped Sirloin

Superb! I too was looking for an alternative to the old reliable crock pot and stumbled across this gem. I had a 2.25 lb roast and used spicy brown mustard, 9 strips of bacon, and traded garlic powder and freshly ground pepper for the thyme. I also added red potatoes, baby carrots, and four boillon cubes with the onions for the last hour that I cooked. This was a treat that is so easy and sure to be repeated again and again. PS-I tried this with a poorer quality cut of meat (rump roast or something like that I think) and it was still delicious, but nothing compared to the sirloin - worth the couple bucks extra!

The addition of the bacon was really nice, I used my traditional seasonings with the roast however. Made great tasting gravy. Was expecting a little more umph from the bacon but it was very tasty and I will do this again, thanks!

I was looking for a roast that was NOT crockpot falling apart, but something I could slow roast and slice into thin slices. (I roasted at 200 for 4 hours) This one was delicious! I used a honey sweet mustard instead of dijon, one large onion sliced into rings and layed on top of the roast, a large sliced tomato on top with the onion for tenderizing, sprinkled it all with garlic powder and pepper, and added a sweet potato for my daughter, regular potatoes, and carrots around the meat. I also used fresh thyme sprigs that I placed under the bacon. The gravy was outstanding (I added boullion to the cooking broth to enrich the beef flavor of the gravy) The bacon added enough flavor that we did not need to salt this at all. The recipe was easy to follow and simple and fun to put together. This made a great Sunday dinner and I will make this again often. Thanks for a great recipe.

This was outstanding!! I added along with the onions, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and 1 package mushroom gravy mix blended with water. Once steak was done, I chopped the bacon into pieces and added it to the potato mixture. All else was followed as directed. The roast was just splendid!! Thank you for posting!
