One Pot, Slow Cooker Fall Apart Sirloin Tip Roast Dinner

This tender Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe, also known as Round Tip Roast or Cross Rib, can be cooked in a slow cooker, Dutch oven, or a roasting pot for 6 hours. Enjoy as it practically falls apart as you cut it—great for a one-pot family meal.

Sirloin Tip Roast is perfect rubbed with simple herbs and spices, and cooked slowly and low for that tender fall-apart roast beef we all love!

Beef Sirloin Tip Roast is perfect all on its own, but I serve it with creamy mashed potatoes and gravy and sweet strawberry salad!

Sirloin Tip Roast

This is a perfect sirloin tip recipe because it makes a complete meal for busy weekdays when you can get it started in the morning, Sunday dinner, and special occasions like Christmas Dinner!  Don’t forget to grab the printable recipe card below!

Making a roast may sound or sound daunting if you haven’t done it before, but it’s really pretty simple! There are two main steps: First, season and sear, then just roast it all day! There’s a little more to it, but not much!

A beef sirloin tip roast (or a round tip roast) is one of the cuts of beef from the hindquarters of the cow. Sirloin Tip roasts are the tip of the round… Round roasts make good oven roasts, but they are a lean cut so they dry out easily. It’s a tougher cut of beef, BUT this recipe transforms it into a tender mouthwatering masterpiece because it’s roasted slowly at a lower temperature!

Make it Tender

The best Sirloin Tip Roast has a well-seasoned exterior that is dark and flavorful on the outside, and so tender inside that it just falls apart as you try to cut it. It’s perfect on its own, in beef sandwiches, enchiladas, tamales, easy soups, and so many other ways!

We’re oven-roasting this beef cut all day, at a super low temperature, resulting in a fall-apart tender roast beef.

This is perfect for busy weeknights when you can put it in the oven and let it cook all day…. It’s fall-apart tender by dinner time and a full meal in a pot! I serve it with a simple green salad and soft rolls. Nothing fancy, just super yummy and satisfying! I’ll use any leftovers (if we have them) to make Beef Stew later this week;)

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 this 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!

Ingredients

• Beef stock (or the like)… Use the liquid left in your pot to make homemade gravy!
• 3-5 pound Sirloin Tip Roast
• Avocado oil or olive oil for SEARING your roast.
• Salt (I like to use course ground salt best!)
• Ground black pepper
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder (or 2 cloves of garlic crushed)
• Chopped Onion
• * Optional herbs de province
• * Optional Chopped Carrots
• * Optional Baby potatoes or new potatoes

Tools

• 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!
• 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 Carving Knife – Even though it will fall apart as you cut it… It’s best when carefully cut across the grains!

Instructions

Optional Marinate

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.

This is the best roast beef recipe I’ve used and is made with a 3-5 pound Sirloin Tip Roast.

Set Your Roast On the Counter a half hour before you start cooking:

First, bring the roast up to room temperature… Roasts cook more evenly if you start with them at room temperature. If you cook it straight from the fridge, it’ll be less done in the middle and more done on the outside. But, if you let it come to room temperature first, it cooks more evenly. (If your roast is frozen, put it in the refrigerator a couple days before you plan on cooking it.)

Season Your roast!

Mix your seasonings together in a small bowl, then generously season your roast. I’m use 2 teaspoons of salt, a teaspoon of pepper, a teaspoon of onion powder, and a half teaspoon of garlic powder.

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 got to get right in there with your hands, and get all those yummy spices onto your roast!

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!

Searing

Searing your sirloin tip roast before roasting locks in flavor and moisture!

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 till it’s nice and brown on all sides.

Make sure it’s browned all over the exterior of the roast. Do not cut the strings, these are holding your roast together. You’ll remove the strings after the roast is fully cooked.

Loading 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 slow cooker, 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 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!)

Pairing

Homemade gravy is super easy to make with leftover liquids in your roasting pan, and it is wonderful served with your sirloin tip roast! I usually serve roast beef easy homemade gravy and creamy mashed potatoes… They’re the perfect sides to any roast beef!

But, it also goes perfect with soft sourdough rolls, and a bacon broccoli salad. And don’t forget a fudgy chocolate Texas sheet cake or karo syrup free Pecan Pie for dessert!
