Here’s a foolproof recipe for a tender, flavorful Crockpot Beef Sirloin Tip Roast with vegetables and gravy.

Crockpot Beef Sirloin Tip Roast

Ingredients

For the Roast:

• 3-4 lb beef sirloin tip roast

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

• 2 bay leaves

For the Vegetables:

• 4-5 medium potatoes, cut into chunks

• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

• 1 large onion, quartered

• 4-5 garlic cloves, smashed

For the Gravy:

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1 packet onion soup mix (or 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce + extra seasonings)

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup cold water (added at the end)

Instructions

1. Sear the roast:

   • Pat the roast dry with paper towels

   • Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

   • Sear roast on all sides until deeply browned (about 3-4 minutes per side)

2. Layer the crockpot:

   • Place potatoes, carrots, and onion in the bottom of the crockpot

   • Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables

   • Add smashed garlic cloves and bay leaves around the roast

3. Make the liquid:

   • In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, onion soup mix, and tomato paste

   • Pour around the roast (not directly on top, to keep the seasoning intact)

4. Cook:

   • Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours

   • The roast is done when it shreds easily with a fork

5. Make the gravy (optional):

   • Remove roast and vegetables to a serving platter; tent with foil

   • Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan

   • Bring to a simmer over medium heat

   • Whisk in cornstarch slurry

   • Cook 2-3 minutes until thickened

6. Serve:

   • Slice or shred the roast (it may be tender enough to fall apart)

   • Serve with vegetables and gravy

Tips for Success

• Don’t skip the sear – it adds incredible depth of flavor

• Cook on LOW for the most tender results

• Sirloin tip is a lean cut, so avoid overcooking or it can become dry

• Add 1 cup of red wine with the broth for extra richness

• Leftovers make great French dip sandwiches or beef and noodles
