This is the kind of slow cooker supper that fits right into a June day on the farm: you drop a raw sirloin tip roast into the crock, pour in four more simple things, and let it putter away while you’re out in the garden or on the road. By suppertime, you’ve got tender beef in a golden, buttery gravy that tastes like you fussed all afternoon. It reminds me of the church basement potlucks I grew up with in the Midwest—simple pantry ingredients, nothing fancy, but somehow everyone ends up asking for the recipe.

Serve this roast sliced or shredded with a big spoonful of that bright yellow gravy over the top. It’s lovely over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or simple white rice. Add a green side—steamed green beans, a tossed salad, or sliced garden tomatoes with a little salt—and some crusty bread or dinner rolls for mopping up the sauce. A dish of sliced pickles or a tangy coleslaw on the side gives a nice bite against the rich, buttery beef.
