Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:

Sirloin roast ingredients on a countertop

Beef broth: Beef stock adds a great umami flavor and helps prevent the roast from drying out.
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.
Dijon mustard: Dijon adds a bit of spice and a subtle “zing” to the roast.
Garlic: Garlic is a seasoning I love to add for an earthy, roasted garlic flavor.
Bay leaves: Bay leaves add an earthy, herbaceous flavor to the roast.
Worcestershire sauce: Worcestershire sauce adds a salty, umami flavor to the roast. Check out this post on is worcestershire sauce gluten-free.
Seasonings: Salt and pepper season the roast so it tastes delicious! Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper really give you the best results! Paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor to the beef.
Parsley: Parsley adds color and freshness to the finished pot roast.
Tomato paste: Tomato paste adds a bit of richness and a subtle sweetness to the roast
Olive oil: Olive oil is used to brown the roast before slow cooking. Feel free to use your favorite neutral cooking oil.

Cooked roast, carrots, onions, and potatoes in a slow cooker

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) I like to serve the juices from the slow cooker on the side as an au jus 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.

FAQs

What is a sirloin tip roast good for?

Also known as round tip roast, a sirloin roast can be used for many different recipes. Just keep in mind that this is a leaner cut of meat, so it usually tastes best when prepared in a slow cooker, or braised or stewed. You could also use tip roast to make kebabs — just be sure to cook at a low temperature for best results.

What is the difference between a sirloin roast and a sirloin tip roast?

Though the names are similar, sirloin roast and sirloin tip are different cuts of meat and should be prepared differently. Sirloin roast comes from the sirloin of beef and has a higher fat content. Tip roast comes from the round (hindquarters of the cow) and is lean cut of meat, which makes it a little bit of a tougher cut of beef than a sirloin roast.

Is a sirloin tip roast a tender cut?

Sirloin tip is one of the most tender cuts of the beef round, but it is generally a tougher cut of meat than other types of beef. The best way to prepare this cut of meat is by braising, stewing, or cooking in a slow cooker.
