How To Make Pioneer Woman Sirloin Tip Roast Crock Pot Recipe
- Prep and Sear the Roast: Let the roast sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Pat the roast dry and rub the seasoning mixture all over it. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until a deep brown crust forms.
- Build the Gravy: Remove the roast from the skillet and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for one minute. Stir in the tomato paste (if using), then slowly whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine vinegar until smooth. Bring to a simmer.
- Assemble in Slow Cooker: Place the quartered onions, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and smashed garlic cloves in the bottom of the crock pot. Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
- Cook: Pour the prepared gravy over the roast and vegetables. Cover and cook on HIGH for 6 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours, until the roast is fork-tender.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the roast from the crock pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the vegetables and gravy from the crock pot.

Recipe Tips
- Why is searing the roast so important? Don’t skip this step! Searing the meat creates a caramelized crust that adds a massive amount of deep, savory flavor to both the roast and the gravy.
- Why do I have to let the roast rest? Resting is crucial for a juicy roast. It allows the juices, which have been pushed to the center during cooking, to redistribute throughout the meat. Slicing too early will result in a dry roast.
- How do I know when the roast is tender? The roast is perfectly cooked when you can easily shred it with a fork. If it still feels tough, it likely needs more time in the slow cooker.
- How can I get a thicker gravy? If you prefer a thicker gravy at the end, you can transfer the liquid from the crock pot to a saucepan and simmer it on the stove for a few minutes to reduce. Alternatively, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry.
What To Serve With Sirloin Tip Roast
This is a complete one-pot meal, but it’s also delicious with:
- Crusty bread or dinner rolls for soaking up the gravy
- A simple green salad with a light dressing
- Steamed green beans or peas
How To Store Sirloin Tip Roast
Refrigerate: Store leftover roast and vegetables in an airtight container with some of the gravy for up to 4 days. Freeze: This meal freezes well. Store the shredded or sliced beef with the gravy in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

FAQs
What is a sirloin tip roast?
A sirloin tip roast is a lean cut from the round primal. It’s more economical than other roasts and becomes wonderfully tender when cooked low and slow, making it perfect for the crock pot.
Can I use other vegetables?
Yes, feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or celery. Add them at the beginning with the other hearty vegetables.
My roast was still tough after 6 hours on high. What went wrong?
Every slow cooker heats differently. If your roast isn’t fall-apart tender, it simply needs more time. Continue to cook it and check for tenderness every 30-45 minutes.
