Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Boneless beef tip roast
  Also known as ball tip, round tip, or crescent roast. This cut of beef comes from the round primal, or tip of the sirloin primal. The meat is removed from the bones and then tied with cotton twine to maintain its shape.
  
  It’s a leaner cut than many of the other beef roasts, but with just enough fat/marbling to produce a flavorful, tender meal. You can use sirloin steak to make all kinds of delicious dishes like these beef kabobs in the oven.

Good Substitutes for Sirloin Tip Roast

• Rump roast – It’s similar in taste but has a slightly more robust flavor and is less tender than the sirloin tip. Yet, still lean and can be slow-cooked to tenderness.
  
• Chuck roast – Comes from the shoulder and is known for its texture and rich flavor. It’s typically less expensive than a tip cut. We use a beef chuck to make swiss steak recipe crock pot.
  
• Brisket – This cut comes from the lower chest, so it’s fattier and has a lot of connective tissue. It’s a great cut for smoking and other “low and slow” cooking methods.
  
• Short ribs – This cut is fattier, with a rich, meaty flavor, and also often braised or slow-cooked to have a flavorful and tender result. short rib ragu with pappardelle or rigatoni is one of our favorite meals to make with this cut.
  

Recipe Variations

• Add vegetables: You can add carrots and potatoes and serve alongside the dish for a complete meal.
  
• Mexican style: Season with chili powder, cumin, and paprika, then add diced chilies.
  
• Italian style: Season with Italian herbs, such as basil, oregano, and rosemary, and add chopped tomatoes.
  
• Asian style: Season with ginger, soy sauce, and five-spice powder, and add sliced onions, garlic, and diced bell peppers.
  
• Skip searing: I mentioned above that browning is optional. If you choose this method, skip the searing part and follow the remaining cooking process. However, this may result in a slightly different outcome in terms of flavor and texture.

How To Cook A Sirloin Tip Roast

3. Add broth.
   To prevent the sirloin tip roast from becoming dry, we use broth to keep the meat juicy.
   The other benefit is that the broth creates an amazing base for gravy!

4. Let the meat rest before serving!
   Give the beef 10 to 15 minutes of rest time before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to be redistributed. This is the key to a tender, fall-apart pot roast!

Serving Suggestions

The best way to serve this meal is to cut the sirloin tip roast into thin pieces and drizzle them with gravy. It’s delicious with a side of easy to grill vegetables.

Serve it with gravy: Mix 2 tablespoons of cold water and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a small bowl. Combine it with the juices from the meat and a pinch of salt (to taste). Whisk this combination together over medium-high heat (in a skillet or your slow cooker if it has a sauté option) until it comes to a boil, then simmer until thickened.

For a perfect contrast to the meat, serve it with healthy instant mashed potatoes or pressure cooker red potatoes. Or, for a healthier option, serve a whole-grain side dish, like making brown rice in Instant Pot.

You may also serve this sirloin tip roast crock pot recipe with a variety of side dishes. Serve it with roasted asparagus, green beans, or honey-glazed carrots for a well-balanced meal.

For a heartier meal, serve the roast with a slice of crusty bread and a fresh garden salad. And don’t forget the wine—pair this dish with a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or a smooth Merlot for an elegant dinner experience. If you’re looking for a comforting weekend meal, serve it with homemade cornbread and a warm bowl of soup.
