BUYING A Sirloin Tip Roast

When you’re at the grocery store shopping for a Beef Roast, You will notice that the Sirloin Tip roasts are a bit lower in price than other cuts… That’s because it’s a leaner cut of beef, and you have to cook it right so it does not dry out or become tough.

WHAT IS Sirloin Tip Roast

A beef sirloin tip roast (or a round tip roast) is one of the cuts of beef from the hindquarters of the cow.

It is a tougher cut of beef, BUT this recipe for sirloin tip roast becomes a tender mouthwatering masterpiece because it’s roasted slowly at a lower temperature!

Sirloin Tip roasts are the tip of the round, and next is the top sirloin roast, then prime rib! Round roasts make good oven roasts, but they are a lean cut so they dry out easily if cooked uncovered past medium well.

Ingredients

• 3-5 pound Sirloin Tip Roast
• 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or olive oil
• 3-teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1-teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves of garlic crushed)
• *optional herbs de province
• 1 large onion chopped
• 4-5 carrots chopped
• 1 pound baby potatoes or new potatoes
• 1-Quart seasoned beef stock (or the like)… Use the liquid left in your pot to make homemade gravy!

TOOLS for Sirloin Tip Roast in the Oven

(This post contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. See my full disclosure here.)

To make the best Sirloin Tip Roast that’s fall-apart tender, you’ll need just a couple of 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!

Serving Dish

Tupperware or a large container with a lid to keep all the yummy leftovers!

LOW TEMPERATURE

The Sirloin Tip is different than a T-bone steak… It’s not naturally tender so you can’t cook it on high heat the same way! If you cook a Sirloin Tip Roast too hot or too fast it will be tough, and not fall apart at all. There really are no shortcuts… The only way to make a Sirloin Tip Roast roast fall apart good is by the low and slow cooking process.

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.

HOW TO MAKE Sirloin Tip Roast in the Oven

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 Your 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:

Sear Sirloin Tip Roast

• 3 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 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.*** In the same pot you will use to roast your sirloin tip in, heat over medium-high and add 2 tablespoons avocado oil. Just make sure it’s browned all over the exterior of the roast. Do not until 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!)

How to Store Leftover Sirloin Tip Roast

Roast Beef Food Safety

Cook raw beef, pork, lamb and veal steaks, chops, and roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145 F as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source. For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before cutting or consuming.
