Here are some variations of the slow-cooked beef sirloin with vegetables recipe:

1. Asian-inspired Beef Stir-Fry: Instead of using coconut oil and beef broth, marinate the beef strips in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Stir-fry the marinated beef with carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas in a hot wok. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a delicious Asian-style dish.
2. Mediterranean Beef Stew: Replace the coconut oil with olive oil and the beef broth with red wine or beef stock. Add diced potatoes, zucchini, and artichoke hearts to the slow cooker with the beef. Season with Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Serve the stew with crusty bread.
3. Mexican Beef Tacos: Season the beef with a blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika. After slow-cooking the beef, shred it with a fork. Serve the tender beef in warm tortillas with chopped onions, cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.
4. Italian Beef Ragù: Use olive oil instead of coconut oil and replace the beef broth with tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes. Add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, and a bay leaf to the slow cooker with the beef. Slow-cook until the beef is fork-tender and the flavors have melded together. Serve the beef ragù over cooked pasta, such as rigatoni or penne.
5. Beef and Vegetable Curry: Create a flavorful curry by seasoning the beef with curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Add coconut milk and diced sweet potatoes to the slow cooker with the beef. Cook until the beef is tender and the sweet potatoes are cooked through. Serve the curry over steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a gluten-free option.
6. Beef and Broccoli Teriyaki: Marinate the beef strips in a mixture of teriyaki sauce, garlic, and ginger. Slow-cook the beef with broccoli florets and sliced bell peppers in the teriyaki marinade. Serve over steamed rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
7. Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff: Replace the coconut oil with butter and use beef broth as the cooking liquid. Add sliced mushrooms, diced onions, and a touch of Dijon mustard to the slow cooker with the beef. Once cooked, stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy and comforting beef stroganoff. Serve over egg noodles.
8. Moroccan Spiced Beef Tagine: Season the beef with a blend of Moroccan spices, such as cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and paprika. Add diced sweet potatoes, apricots, and sliced almonds to the slow cooker with the beef. Slow-cook until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together. Serve the tagine over couscous or quinoa.
