Sirloin Tip Roast Ingredients
- Olive Oil: I recommend using extra virgin olive oil or light olive oil. Avocado oil may also be used.
- Sirloin Tip Roast: You can also use chuck roast, rump roast, or English roast.
- Onions: I recommend white onions or yellow onions, sliced. Don’t use red onions! Red onions have too much of a sharp flavor.
- Fresh Garlic: Fresh crushed garlic cloves add so much flavor to this dish. You can use a garlic press to make it easy.
- Carrots: I recommend whole carrots you peel and slice yourself. Baby carrots will get mushy.
- Beef Stock: You can also use beef broth, if it’s what you have.
- Red Wine: If necessary, additional beef stock can be substituted for red wine! Use a high quality drinking wine, not a cooking wine, for best results.
Beef Sirloin Tip Roast Seasoning
- fresh or dried thyme
- fresh or dried rosemary
- Worcestershire sauce
- salt
- black pepper
You need just a few common spices to create the seasoning for this recipe. I also feature one of my favorite ingredients, Worcestershire sauce! My Roast Beef Rub also works well on this recipe.
How to Cook Fall-Apart Sirloin Tip Roast
- Preheat the oven to 350°F—heat olive oil in a large Dutch Oven over medium-high heat.
- Sear the roast for 2 minutes on each side to brown, then remove and set aside.
- Without cleaning the pot, add the onion and cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and stir for another 2 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan by adding red wine, and use a wooden spoon to gently scrape the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits for flavor.
- Add in beef stock, carrots, thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper, while stirring.
- Finally, add the roast back to the Dutch Oven, covering it with the liquid. Place in the oven and roast for 3 hours, or until beef is tender enough to shred with a fork.
- Remove the beef from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes. After resting, shred the beef using two forks. You will have a fall-apart beef tip roast quickly.
- Place the Dutch Oven back on the stove and bring the remaining liquid to a low boil, uncovered, to reduce the liquid. If you find it is not reducing or prefer a thicker gravy, take ½ Tablespoon cornstarch and mix it with 2 Tablespoons beef stock in a small cup. Pour the mixture into the pot and stir it to thicken the gravy.
- Enjoy the beef on creamy mashed potatoes or noodles with the sauce!
Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe Tips
- If possible, use a heavy cast-iron Dutch oven with a lid. A good roasting pan will also work if you don’t have one.
- Sear your meat first over high heat to start the browning process. This will seal in the juices and guarantee a juicy pot roast.
- Use a good beef stock and check the liquid level every hour. Add ½ cup water if it’s reduced too much and drying out.
- Although I only used carrots and onions, you can use any of your favorite roast vegetables in this recipe.
- Make sure to check out my guide on how to clean your dutch oven after making this roast!
Slow Cooker Instructions
If you don’t have a Dutch oven or prefer to make this recipe in the slow cooker, you can! Follow these instructions for slow cooker sirloin tip roast:
- Follow the instructions to sear the beef and saute the onions and garlic for best results. Set the meat aside after searing, then deglaze the pan with red wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- While stirring, add beef stock, thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Place the carrots in the slow cooker, then add the beef.
- Pour the contents of the pot into the slow cooker over the beef so it is submerged in liquid.
- Slow cook on LOW for 8-12 hours. This is an excellent option for cooking fall-apart sirloin tip roast overnight so it’s ready the next day or sitting in the morning to have it ready by dinnertime!
Note: If you don’t want to sear the beef or saute the onions beforehand, skip step 3. Place the carrots, garlic, and onions into the slow cooker, then the beef, then the liquid and seasoning ingredients. Cook as instructed. However, I recommend searing as it adds so much flavor.
Storing Leftovers
- If you plan to use it within a few days, keep it in an airtight container or sealed bag in the fridge.
- If you want to store it for longer, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil, place it in a freezer bag, and label it with the freezing date.
- Freeze it for up to 4 months.
- Thaw it in the fridge for several hours or overnight before reheating.
Reheating Sirloin Tip Pot Roast
- Preheat your oven to 250°F.
- Place the sirloin tip roast in an oven-safe dish and cover it loosely with foil.
- Reheat for about 20-30 minutes per pound until it reaches your desired internal temperature.
- Let it rest for a few minutes, slice, and serve.
Sirloin Tip Roast Oven Roast FAQ
A spoon roast is a culinary term used to refer to a specific cut of beef, often known as the “top sirloin roast” or “sirloin tip roast.” This cut is taken from the sirloin section of the cow and is known for its tenderness and flavor. It’s called a “spoon roast” because it’s traditionally shaped in a way that resembles the curve of a spoon.
Cooking this roast low and slow is key! Slow cook on LOW for 8-12 hours. It will be amazing.
You do not need to cover the pot when braising sirloin tip roast in a Dutch Oven.
You can freeze the leftovers by first allowing them to cool completely, then adding them to a freezer-safe airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 4 months, labeled with the date. To reheat, allow the beef to thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then gently roast in an oven-safe dish at 250°F until heated through.
Dry red wine is the best, so use that if you can. If you’d rather not use red wine at all, you can use red wine vinegar, extra beef stock, or even chicken stock. Red wine is perfect for deglazing your pan and cooking gravy, but any of these alternatives will work.
This might be one of the most tender roasts I’ve ever made! I’m always on the lookout for good Dutch oven recipes and this one was right up my alley.

El says
Really flavourful, and I will make this again. Unfortunately, my roast was overcooked. Perhaps less cooking time in a convection oven, as all my fluid evaporated and the top of my roast was crisp/dry. My fault. I should have checked on it. I followed suggested timelines, but I will cook less next time. The underside was very moist and delicious.
Em Beitel says
Hi El! Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear the top of the roast turned out that way, but are thrilled that you enjoyed it! We would love to hear about it when you make it again! If you want, you could even take a picture and send it to us. We would love to see!

I left you a comment on Pinterest but will also put it here. This might be one of the most tender roasts I’ve ever made! I’m always on the lookout for good Dutch oven recipes and this one was right up my alley and has been stored in my AnyList account for future use. I didn’t have beef stock so I used chicken stock as a substitute; I used Pinot Noir for the wine. I also – prior to searing the roast – rubbed it down with salt, pepper and garlic powder. I roasted potatoes in my air fryer during the roast’s final 30 minutes of cooking as well as heated up some green beans – everything was ready at the same time. This one’s a keeper! Thanks.
Em Beitel says
Tina, we are so happy to hear that, and your substitutions sound delicious! Rubbing it down with seasoning beforehand must have tasted incredible, especially with air fryer potatoes and green beans. Thank you so much for leaving us a comment here and on Pinterest!
Colin Sewell says
Ooh, this is good. I bought a Dutch oven mainly to make bread but thought I’d give it a whirl with the weekend beef joint. I studied a number of pot roast recipes and felt this one had the right sort of flavours for me although I did add a tblspoon of brown sugar and 2 tblspoons of cider vinegar which is quite common to pot roast recipes. I cooked a 2lb brisket joint for 3 hours and although the meat didn’t tear apart with a fork it was incredibly tender. I did check every hour on the liquid and at the same time turned the meat over so it didn’t dry out. After 2 hours I added abt 1/2 cup of water as suggested. By the time I removed the meat the juices had already reduced and there was no need to add any thickening. I made some mashed potato as well as added runner beans to make a full meal. Taste? Fantastic! It provided 4 full meals and the rest of the meat I sliced thinly for use in sandwiches. This will be my go to beef recipe even as a stew. (if you have never used a Dutch oven I can thoroughly recommend them, they add another dimension to your cooking)
Em Beitel says
Colin, thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the recipe and your additions sound perfect. We couldn’t be happier that this is your go-to beef recipe now! Thank you so much for letting us know! And we agree–Dutch ovens are the best.
Brandy says
Y’all! This is seriously delicious! I don’t usually leave reviews, but hubby couldn’t stop raving and demanded I bookmark the recipe while he stood there watching, so I figured it warranted some kind words. I did adjust some of the ingredients to our preference/what I had on hand. I had 3.3 lbs of meat to use so I upped the stock to 4 cups. I didn’t have beef stock on hand, but I make my own veggie and chicken broth, so that’s what I used. I used almost a whole head of garlic…because, well, garlic is life. We like a lot of veggies in our roast so I used 4 carrots, 4 stalks of celery, some red and yukon potatos, and a container of mushrooms. I didn’t have wine, so I used red wine vinegar. Cooked at 250 for 2 hours then 350 for another 2 hours. It was devoured by the whole house. We usually only do roast once every few months, but I think this one needs to go on a regular rotation. Thank you for sharing!
Em Beitel says
That is so awesome, Brandy! Thank you so much for this thoughtful, awesome review. We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed it so much! And what great substitutions and additions! (I completely agree about garlic…)
