Ingredients You’ll Need
Here are a few notes on some of the key ingredients to make this sirloin tip roast. Jump to the recipe card below for the exact measurements.
- Sirloin tip roast: I’m using a boneless beef sirloin tip roast but there are plenty of roast options: a chuck roast, a rump roast…feel free to use whatever you can find!
- Baby potatoes, carrots, and onions: You could swap any of these for other root vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips. You could also use red potatoes instead of yellow. Whatever you choose, make sure your vegetables are at least 1-2” long, or else they’ll overcook.
- Worcestershire sauce: Worcestershire sauce adds a salty, umami flavor to the roast. Check out this post on is Worcestershire sauce gluten-free?.
How to Make Sirloin Tip Roast
Here’s an overview of how to make this sirloin tip roast. You can jump to the recipe for the full instructions!
- Season the meat: Pat the beef pieces dry with a paper towel and season.
- Brown the meat: Add the olive oil to a skillet. When the oil is hot, add the beef and sear for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Add the beef broth: Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, tomato paste, and seasoning to the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Whisk.
- Add all other ingredients: Add the roast, onion, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
- Slow cook: Slow roast cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and shreds easily. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy immediately.
- (Optional) Serve with au jus or make gravy from the juices.

Storage/Make Ahead/Freezing Instructions
- To Store: Store leftover roast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
- To Make Ahead: You can prep the roast ahead by cutting the beef, seasoning it, and searing it. Store the seared beef along with the chopped vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, simply add everything to the slow cooker with the broth mixture and proceed with the recipe.
- To Freeze: Allow the cooked roast and vegetables to cool completely. Transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag, making sure to include some of the sauce to keep the meat moist. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating gently on the stovetop or in a slow cooker until warmed through.
Can you use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes! If you can’t find a sirloin tip roast, substitute it with a chuck roast, rump roast, or even a bottom round roast. Just make sure to cook it low and slow for the most tender results.
Do you have to sear the beef before putting it in the slow cooker?
Searing the beef isn’t required, but I highly recommend it! Searing adds a rich, savory flavor that really deepens the overall taste of the dish. It only takes a few extra minutes and is totally worth it.
Can you cook this recipe on high instead of low?
You can cook it on high if you’re short on time, but for the most tender, flavorful beef, cook on low for about 8 hours. If you cook on high, plan for about 4–5 hours and check for fork-tender doneness.
Recipe Tips
- Use alternative cuts of meat: I’m using a boneless beef sirloin tip roast for this recipe, but there are plenty of beef roast options you could use in its place. Try a chuck roast, a rump roast, or whatever you can find! As long as you cook it low and slow, you’ll end up with juicy meat that’s perfect for weeknight dinner and holiday meals alike.
- Serve with au jus/gravy: I like to serve the juices from the slow cooker on the side as an au jus for this sirloin tip roast recipe. But if you would prefer to thicken them into a gravy, simply add the juices to a medium saucepan, whisk in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and cook over medium heat until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Swap root vegetables: I’m using onion, carrots, and potatoes in this slow cooker sirloin tip roast, but you could swap any of those for other root vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips. Just make sure your vegetables are at least 1-2” long so they don’t overcook!
- Make mashed potatoes: You could also remove the potatoes at the end of cooking and then make them into mashed potatoes, if you prefer. Both options are a great accompaniment to this sirloin tip round roast!
- Make additional sides: I love to serve this with cream cheese corn and gluten-free crescent rolls! These roasted sweet potatoes would also be a delicious accompaniment.

This recipe is on point! My family loves it and the meat comes out perfect every time. Last time I made it i didn’t have mustard but it still came out amazing. You definitely have to try it.
We’re so glad this recipe has been such a hit with the whole family! Thank you for your kind feedback, Steph!
Delicious and tender, also deglazed the pan with red wine and served with carrots and green beans from my garden. It was better than expected as we do not eat much red meat but had a small grass fed roast from a local family farm that I wanted to cook. A nice comforting fall dinner!
That sounds amazing, Paula! Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us. We’re so glad you all enjoyed the recipe!
This sirloin tip roast is so rich and packed with flavors! Can’t get enough of it!
