Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This slow cooker sirloin tip roast is one of my favorite ways to make a hearty, comforting dinner with minimal hands-on time. The beef turns out tender and juicy, and the vegetables cook right alongside it for an easy, complete meal!
If I want to add a little something extra, I love serving this with cream cheese corn or gluten-free crescent rolls!
- Rich, savory flavor: Searing the beef first and adding Dijon, Worcestershire, and tomato paste to the sauce creates maximum flavor!
- A make-ahead, all-in-one meal: Prep everything up to one day ahead, then let the slow cooker do the work. Leftovers are great for easy lunches throughout the week too!
- Flexible and family-friendly: Swap in different cuts of beef or root vegetables depending on what you have on hand or what your family likes!
What You 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 use a boneless beef sirloin tip roast but there are plenty of roast options: chuck roast, rump roast, or even a bottom round roast. Whichever you choose, I recommend cooking low and slow for the most tender meat.
- Vegetables: I prefer to use onion, carrots, and baby potatoes, but you can swap any of these for other root vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips. No matter the vegetable, I cut them at least 1-2” long so that they don’t overcook.
- Worcestershire sauce: I love adding Worcestershire sauce to this sauce. Not all brands are gluten-free though, so always double-check the label. Lea & Perrins is one I use here in the US.
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!
Prepare the beef. I slice the sirloin tip roast into 2-inch pieces, then pat them dry with a paper towel so that they brown properly.
Sear the beef. After coating all sides with seasoning, I place the beef in hot oil in a large skillet and sear on all sides.
Erin’s Tip
Searing the meat in a skillet first isn’t required, but I highly recommend it for a level of flavor you won’t get if you put the meat straight into the slow cooker.
Add ingredients to the slow cooker. I start by adding the sauce ingredients and whisking them together, then I stir in the meat, vegetables, garlic, and bay leaves.
Cook and serve. I cook the dish on low until the roast is fork-tender and easy to shred which usually takes 8 hours. Sprinkle a little fresh parsley on top and enjoy!
Erin’s Tip
I like to serve the juices from the slow cooker on the side, sort of like an au jus. You can also thicken the sauce and turn it into a gravy by adding the juices to a medium saucepan, whisking in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and cooking over medium heat until thickened.
If you prefer, you can also remove the potatoes at the end of cooking and turn them into mashed potatoes!

This is in the slow cooker as I type this. I love meals like this, especially on a busy weekend when I’m doing meal prep for the week. I’m curious though…why do you cut up the roast? It seems easier to me to sear it whole and then put it on top of the veggies in the crock pot. I agree searing smaller pieces means more of that browned flavor, but it seems like a challenging step for a new cook. Just wondering why…
I follow you on IG and enjoy seeing what you cook and trying the recipes! Your GF versions are so tasty! Especially your focaccia!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for such kind feedback, Ilene! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the recipes and the IG posts. Great question! We cut the roast into chunks because it helps it brown more evenly and increases the surface area, which gives you more of that rich, savory flavor throughout the whole dish. It also helps the beef cook a bit faster and become more tender in the slow cooker since more pieces are exposed to the cooking liquid. We hope this helps!
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!
