Ingredients

• 2½ to 3 pounds sirloin tip roast
• 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 4 large carrots, cut into chunks
• 1 packet (about 1 ounce) dry onion soup mix
• 1½ cups beef broth

The five main ingredients are: sirloin tip roast, potatoes, carrots, onion soup mix, and beef broth.

How to Make Slow Cooker Sirloin Tip Roast Dinner

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Place the halved baby potatoes and carrot chunks in the bottom of your slow cooker. Spread them into an even layer.

2. Add the Beef

Place the sirloin tip roast directly on top of the vegetables.

3. Add the Seasoning and Broth

Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the roast and vegetables. Pour the beef broth around the sides of the roast.

4. Slow Cook

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7–9 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Cooking time can vary depending on the size and shape of the roast and your slow cooker.

For a sliceable roast, check the beef for your desired level of doneness rather than relying only on the clock. For a more tender, shreddable texture, continue cooking until the connective tissue has softened.

5. Rest the Roast

Carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for about 10–15 minutes before slicing.

6. Serve

Slice the beef against the grain and serve it with the tender potatoes and carrots. Spoon some of the flavorful cooking liquid over the meat and vegetables.

Tips for the Best Sirloin Tip Roast

Cut the vegetables into fairly large pieces so they hold their shape during the long cooking time.

Keep the slow cooker covered while cooking. Frequently removing the lid lets heat escape and can increase the cooking time.

Letting the roast rest before slicing helps keep the meat juicy.

If you prefer thicker gravy, transfer some of the cooking liquid to a saucepan and reduce it on the stovetop before serving.

Easy Variations

You can replace the baby potatoes with Yukon Gold potatoes cut into large chunks.

For additional vegetables, add them near the end of cooking so they do not become overly soft. Keep in mind that adding extra ingredients means the recipe will no longer be limited to five main ingredients.

What to Serve With Sirloin Tip Roast

This meal already includes tender potatoes and carrots, making it a complete dinner. For a larger meal, serve it with green beans, dinner rolls, a simple salad, or steamed broccoli.

The savory cooking juices are especially delicious spooned over the potatoes.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover beef and vegetables in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

Reheat gently in the microwave or in a covered skillet with some of the cooking liquid to help keep the beef moist.

Cooked beef can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use another beef roast?

Yes. Chuck roast can be substituted, although it has more connective tissue and is particularly well suited to long, slow cooking.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Fresh potatoes and carrots are preferable because they hold their texture better during slow cooking. If using frozen vegetables, add them later in the cooking process.

Can I make this roast ahead of time?

Yes. Cook the roast and vegetables, then refrigerate them with some of the cooking liquid. Reheat gently before serving.
