How to Make 5-Ingredient Sirloin Tip Roast
1. Prepare the Roast
Place the sirloin tip roast directly into the slow cooker. Pat the roast dry first if needed.
2. Add the Seasonings
Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix and brown gravy mix evenly over the roast.
Spoon the condensed cream of mushroom soup over the top, then pour the beef broth around the roast.
3. Slow Cook
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easy to slice.
Slow cooking allows the flavors to develop while the beef gradually becomes tender. Since sirloin tip is leaner than chuck roast, avoid cooking it much longer than necessary if you want it sliceable rather than overly dry.
4. Rest and Slice
Once the roast is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Spoon some of the rich gravy over each serving.
Helpful Tips
Cook on LOW when possible. The gentle heat helps the roast cook gradually and gives the sauce time to develop its savory flavor.
Don’t add extra salt too quickly. Both the onion soup mix and gravy mix can already contain a significant amount of sodium.
Let the roast rest. A short resting period helps the juices settle before slicing.
Check the beef with a thermometer. For a whole beef roast, the USDA minimum safe temperature is 145°F (63°C) followed by a 3-minute rest. For the most accurate result, check the thickest part of the roast with an instant-read thermometer.
Slice against the grain. Cutting across the muscle fibers makes the beef easier to chew.
Serving Ideas
This roast makes a classic comfort-food dinner when served with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. The savory gravy is especially delicious spooned over the potatoes.
Other great side dishes include roasted carrots, buttered corn, peas, egg noodles, rice, or roasted potatoes.
For a simple Sunday-style dinner, serve the sliced beef with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and plenty of gravy.
Leftovers
Store leftover roast and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3–4 days.
Leftover beef can be gently reheated with some of the gravy to help keep it moist. Thinly sliced leftovers also make excellent roast beef sandwiches with a little gravy, horseradish, or your favorite sandwich toppings.
You can also freeze cooked portions with some gravy for a convenient future meal.
