Ingredients
3 lb sirloin tip roast
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp neutral oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
- Pat the roast dry and rub it with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and rosemary.
- Heat the oil and sear every side for 3 to 4 minutes. The crust matters on a lean cut.
- Put the onion and garlic in the slow cooker and set the roast on top.
- Whisk the broth, Worcestershire and balsamic and pour it around the meat.
- Add the thyme.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.
- Check at hour five: pull it at 135 to 145°F in the thickest part.
- Move the roast to a board and tent it with foil for 15 minutes.
- Slice thinly against the grain.
- Spoon the juices over the slices and serve.
Notes
- Do not cook this cut past 145°F or it turns dry. Leftover slices keep 4 days in the refrigerator and are good cold on sandwiches.
Why Crockpot Sliceable Sirloin Tip Roast stays tender
Sirloin tip is lean, so the goal is to stop cooking early. Pull it between 135 and 145°F. The sear matters, because there is little fat to carry flavor. The onion bed lifts it off the base.
The roast should be pulled at 135 to 145°F. Check at hour five. A lean cut moves from perfect to dry in a short window. Garlic powder and rosemary on the crust give the lean meat flavor, and the onions underneath protect the base.
Swaps
Top round or bottom round both work. Dried thyme can replace the rosemary. Do not cook it as long as a chuck roast. It never turns tender that way, just dry.
Serving
Slice thin and serve with mashed potatoes, or pile cold slices on sandwiches.
Leftovers and the mistake
Keeps 4 days. Slice against the grain and rest the roast for 15 minutes before cutting. Trusting the clock instead of a thermometer is the usual error.
