Fall Apart Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe
Buying Tips
TOOLS
Large Roasting Pan with a well-fitting cover. The Best Way is to use a Dutch oven. I use one like this:
Kitchen Shears – to open the plastic wrapping.
Meat Thermometer – There’s really no way around this. The perfect sirloin tip roast is cooked to a temperature that it falls apart... not by time. That’s because each roast is a different size and all ovens cook a tad bit differently from each other. You’ll cook your Sirloin Tip roast till it reaches an internal temperature of at least 180 degrees!
A large Cutting Board
A Large Knife - Even though it will fall apart as you cut it. It's best when carefully cut across the grains!
Tupperware or a large container with a lid to keep all the yummy leftovers!
Low Temperature
When you’re roasting a Sirloin Tip Roast beef, you have to cook it at a super low temperature. As a matter of fact, the temperature you cook it at is closer to the temperature that the fully cooked roast is when it’s done! Roast for hours at 250 degrees until the internal temperature reaches at least 180 degrees!

Slow Cooker
The Sirloin Tip is a slow-cooking roast, so give yourself PLENTY of cooking time. Whether you are making this recipe for a gathering or special dinner, or just a weeknight meal, you need to get started in the morning. I get it started FIRST THING in the morning… So it can roast at least 6 hours or all day long!!
After rubbing seasonings all over your roast I sear the outside to help hold in flavor and natural juices… Then add 1 onion chopped, 4 carrots chopped, a pound of new potatoes or chopped potatoes about 1-2 inches thick, and one quart of beef broth or bone broth.
The broth is needed to keep your sirloin tip roast moist! Don't go without it! You can also use bone broth or any stock.
AT LEAST 6 hours for a small (3-pound) roast. Bigger roasts will roast for AT LEAST an hour more per pound, till internal temp reaches 180 - 200 degrees.
Instructions
This is the best roast beef recipe I’ve used and is made with a 3-5 pound Sirloin Tip Roast.
STEP ONE – THAW to room temperature
Step Two - Season Your roast! I'm using about 2 teaspoons of salt, a teaspoon of pepper, a teaspoon of onion powder, and a half teaspoon of garlic powder. Herbs de Provence is also very good in this recipe!
Sirloin Tip Roasts are for meat-eaters! You can’t be squeamish about touching or handling raw beef. To prep this big roast with seasonings, it’s all hands on deck! You’ve gotta get right in there with your hands, to get all those yummy spices onto your roast! Don’t worry... You can wash them well when you’re done!
Before You Get Started Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F!
It only takes about 15 minutes to get this roast recipe prepped, so make sure to preheat your oven before you get started!
Season Sirloin Tip Roast
The first step to a perfect Roast is to season generously all over the exterior of your raw roast. I use this great recipe:
Searing
Searing your sirloin tip roast before roasting locks in flavor and moisture!
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ a teaspoon garlic powder
- * Optional - Herbs de Province is also a great flavor on this roast!
*** After a generous rub all over the entire roast, sear it in your hot pot with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil.*** You can use the same pot you will use to roast your sirloin tip in. Heat over medium-high and add 2 tablespoons avocado oil, then sear all sides of roast.
Make sure it's browned all over the exterior of the roast. Do not cut the strings, these are holding your roast together. You will remove the strings after the roast is fully cooked.
Should I Marinate Sirloin Tip Roast?
Marinading this roast will always add more flavor! If you start the day before, season your roast well, put it in a gallon-size zip lock bag or cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it till the next day!
Don't worry, if you don't have time to marinate this roast, it is still very good without it.
Next - Load Your Roasting Pan
Using the same pot that your seared, add to your pot a chopped onion, 4-5 carrots chopped 1-3 inches long, 1 pound of new potatoes, and a quart of seasoned beef stock (or the like). (Use leftover liquids in the pot to make homemade gravy!
Slow Roast All Day!
After your dutch oven or roasting pot is loaded, cover it with a well-fitting lid, or make your own with aluminum foil. Then place it in the oven at 250 degrees F. Let your roast slowly cook all day or for at least 6 hours!
This is the best part... You can just put your roast in the oven and let it do the rest of the work for you! Get your work done for the day and this sirloin roast will be fall apart tender and perfect in about 6 hours (or at dinner time if you start it in the morning!)
