1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 pounds beef sirloin tip roast
1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup beef broth

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook beef roast in the hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a slow cooker. Pour tomatoes and beef broth over roast; add onions and bell peppers.
