Slow Cooker Sirloin Tip Roast and Vegetables
Isnโt it great to cook all the things together at the same time? That means when it is done you donโt have to bake, air fry, to cook anything beyond that. Just serve it up on a plate and youโre set to eat together. Of course you can do this by making a slow cooker beef stew but sometimes you want to cook a larger hunk of meat.
When it is cold outside I am all about comfort foods like this. If we happen to have leftovers they save quite well also with brown gravy over the top which is a win win.
Letโs talk a little bit about slow cooking shall we?? First off I have a few different varieties and I love them all. Each one has an occasion to be used likeโฆ.
- This is my favorite 6 quart programmable one with a locking lid so itโs great for bringing to a potluck too.
- I prefer not to use liners, but rather just spray olive oil inside before adding my food for easier cleanups.
Let me give you a peek of my pretty thang I bought recently. It goes with my kitchen so I can just leave it out on the countertop all the time. ๐
Sirloin Tip Roast Crock Pot
This and our sirloin tip roast Instant Pot is it my friends! As you know low and slow is key when youโre cooking thick hunks of meat like this one. Gives it enough time to break down those connective tissues that make it chewy if it isnโt cooked long enough. In the oven it would work, but itโs better in a Crockpot.
Reason being is with the lid on it literally steams hour after hour until it falls apart just with a fork when done. Now cook times will vary depending on itโs size, and if you want slow cooker shredded beef or to slice it. The longer it cooks the more tender it will get, thatโs just the way it is.
I like to use my 6 or 8 quart size for this. You can really load up on the vegetables if you want to on this one. Add a sliced onion if you want, whole green beans would work too. They need to be of the firmer variety so they donโt turn to mush.
The directions arenโt complicated, I am all about easy slow cooker recipes around here yโall. Youโll want a pan to sear the outside first and get it browned. This does two things: it will add a bit of texture to the outside but mostly it will keep the moisture as much as possible inside the meat instead of leaching out into the pot.
Ingredients
- Fresh or thawed sirloin roast
- Quartered potatoes are a nice add in
- Carrots we love too
- 1 pkg dry onion soup mix which will help make the gravy
- Red wine vinegar or broth you can use
- Beef broth is better than water
- Worcestershire sauce
- I love to add some diced garlic or use roasted air fryer garlic if I have some fresh into this
- Then youโll need heavy cream and cornstarch to thicken the liquid at the end
Can you cook a frozen sirloin roast in Crockpot?
if yours isnโt thawed, follow our slow cooker frozen roast recipe instead. Seasonings are minimal in both cases because the onion packet has a lot in it already. You may want to season with salt and pepper at the end when served.
Unlike our smoked sirloin tip roast the outside will remain soft unless you stuck it into the oven under broil for a few minutes at the end.
So this is how easy it is. I have a printable recipe card at the bottom but here is a quick look at how it is done. Yes you can skip the browning at the very beginning but it does make a difference.
How to Slow Cook a Sirloin Tip Roast in Crockpot
- Heat a pan over medium high heat, melt the butter or olive oil. Season all sides of roast with salt and pepper and brown on all sides.
- Place potatoes and carrots inside slow cooker, sprinkle onion soup mix on top. Put cut of meat on top of that.
- In a dish whisk together garlic, red wine vinegar, worcestershire, horseradish sauce and broth. Pour this on top of everything.
- Close and cook on low for 7-8 hours (time depends on how well done you want it to be)
- check with a fork to see if it is fall apart tender, if not add more time
- When done whisk heavy cream with cornstarch together in a small dish until smooth. Remove roast and let that rest. Pour cream into liquid in pot and mix so gravy thickens.
Cover beef roast to stay warm. Put lid back on so sauce can thicken and be a nice sauce or au jus like moisture when serving this over a bed of pressure cooker mashed potatoes.
it is a tougher cut of meat. In order to make it a more tender cut it needs ample time inside a contained unit to break down the connective tissues. That is why making slow cooker sirloin tip is by far the best method. Better than in the oven or pressure cooker.
How to Cook Sirloin Tip Roast with Onion Soup Mix
This is a fairly lean cut too though which is nice. Lower in saturated fat than others that means itโs better for you, but also means there are less juices that will flow. That is why this onion gravy is key in the cooking process. If you do need it done quicker you can use your IP or Foodi too though.
People rave over making frozen roast in Instant Pot if you have forgotten to defrost it the night before. Keep that in your back pocket for those forgetful days. ๐ When cooking a Ninja Foodi roast you can crisp the outside a bit at the end if youโd like. That isnโt my preference but some do like a mixture of textures so thereโs that.
Sirloin is leaner than other cuts like chuck, meaning it has less fat. This makes it a healthier option for slow cooking but at the same time wonโt fall-apart as easily. Because of this I prepare to slice it when done instead of shredding.
Yes, unlike other cuts that are higher in fat this one that is quite lean will get more tough the longer it is cooked so donโt overdo it. Test and when it reaches 135F for medium rare or 150 degrees for a medium cook, turn off, allow to rest for 15 minutes with the lid on before slicing.
In the case that someone in your house prefers for the veggies and protein be cooked separately that is fine too. You will still need to add all of the liquid requirements though. Then you can go on to make a batch of crockpot carrots on the side instead. That works too and I get it, my husband sometimes is the same way.
Have something else you added into your pot that came out amazing?? Let us know what it was so we can throw that in too the next time we make it. ๐
How to save leftover cooked beef
Pot roasts save quite well so donโt throw any of it away. Make sure you donโt discard the sauce because youโll want to combine the two so it stays moist. Store in a container with a lid covered in gravy. Reheat within 3 days after in the microwave for about 2 minutes and enjoy.
