Sirloin Tip Roast Dutch Oven 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 Oven 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.

Nan says
The best recipe ever! Made homemade gravy in pot with juices and some of my potato water! Every bite of the roast, mashed potatoes, with the gravy was incredible! Went back to my recipe folder and deleted any other recipe I may have saved for beef roasts, as you will only ever need this one!
Em Beitel says
That is so awesome, Nan! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
Kelsey B says
I just made this for dinner and it turned out amazing! I used a 3 lb English roast, followed all the directions and it was perfect. I’ll definitely make this again!
Em Beitel says
That’s amazing, Kelsey! Thank you so much for sharing and we’re so glad you enjoyed it!

Such a lovely deep flavoured roast. The gravy was the icing on the cake. Will be my go to recipe for pot roast Getting back to Sunday dinners as well. Family live quite a distant so can’t be here but our friends are appreciative to attend.
Em Beitel says

Fabulous flavor. Cooked a 41/2 pound sirloin roast with your recipe only for an hour and 55 minutes in the instant pot ❤️❤️
Em Beitel says
That’s awesome Heather! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Big time says
add bacon?
Em Beitel says
Hi there! I would not add bacon to this dish since it’s a braising recipe unless you are adding it already cooked after the fact.
Kelsie says
This was a good roast. I used 3x the slurry to really thicken up. Next time I’m using half the pepper and half the wine. Those tastes were overpowering.
Em Beitel says
Thanks so much, Kelsie! We’re glad you enjoyed it!
Megan says
I have a 5 lb roast…. I’m guessing I should increase the cooking time, but I don’t know by how much. Any suggestions?
Em Beitel says
Hi Megan! I would say since we cooked a roast half that size, aim for 6 hours but check at the 4-5 hour mark to make sure it’s reaching temperature and doesn’t go over.
Mindy Carlson says
This was really delicious! Way better than the cream of whatever soup recipes.
I did mine in the Instant pot with a 4 pound sirloin tip roast. Checked it after 65 minutes, it wasn’t ready. Tried another 30, still wasn’t ready. 20 more minutes and it was perfect.
I omitted the red wine because I didn’t have any and it was fine. I also halved the pepper at the suggestion of another reviewer and I think that was a mistake. Could have used more rosemary.
Em Beitel says
Thank you so much, Mindy! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your experience with the recipe.
Kristin says
That’s interesting to know you cooked yours in the instant pot. I thought about it but after reading so many reviews that the sirloin tip roast is so lean, it’s not good to cook it in the instant pot. So today, I did mine “old school”, lol! It was deeeelicious and fall apart tender. Maybe next time I’ll try it in the IP.
