Sirloin Tip Roast

Beef sirloin tip roast is a flavorful cut of meat that’s ideal for slow roasting. This sirloin tip roast recipe uses simple ingredients like onion soup mix and mushrooms to enhance the beef’s natural flavors. Baking the roast in a foil packet keeps the meat moist and juicy.

Similar to pot roast, this sirloin tip roast becomes tender with slow, steady cooking. We pair the tender meat with a rich mushroom gravy made from the roast’s drippings, creating an impressive, easy-to-prepare meal.

Sirloin Tip Roast Ingredients

• Beef sirloin tip roast: This lean yet tender cut of beef is perfect for roasting. It turns out juicy with a slightly firm texture when cooked properly, making it a great centerpiece for a roast dinner.
• Water: Water ensures that this oven-roasted sirloin tip roast stays moist in the oven.
• Mushrooms: Canned mushroom stems and pieces add earthiness to this sirloin tip roast recipe. They soak up the beef’s juices and combine with the onion soup mix to create a savory flavor profile.
• Onion soup mix: Soup mix is a convenient seasoning that adds depth to the dish. Buy a packet at the store or use homemade onion soup mix.
• Cornstarch: Cornstarch is one of the best thickeners for gravy. When combined with water, it turns the roast’s drippings into a smooth, velvety sauce that tastes fantastic alongside the sliced beef.

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the roast

Place a large piece of heavy-duty foil (21×17 inches) in a shallow roasting pan. Place the roast on the foil. Pour 1 cup of water over the roast. Scatter the drained mushroom stems and pieces over the top of the roast and sprinkle it with the soup mix. Wrap the foil securely around the roast, sealing it tightly.

Step 2: Bake the roast

Bake the roast at 350°F for 2 hours and 30 minutes to 3 hours or until the roast reaches the desired doneness. For medium-rare doneness, the roast’s internal temperature should reach 135°; for medium, 140°; and for medium-well, 145°.

Step 3: Make the gravy

Remove the roast to a serving platter and keep it warm. Pour the drippings and mushrooms into a saucepan. Combine the cornstarch and the remaining water until smooth, then gradually stir it into the drippings. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook and stir for two minutes or until thickened. Serve the gravy with the sliced beef.

Editor’s Tip: You can keep the roast warm by loosely covering it with foil.

Recipe Variations

• Make an herb-crusted roast: To add herbaceous character, include chopped fresh herbs (like rosemary and thyme) to the seasoning mix.
• Include red wine: When making the gravy, swap in red wine for the water. It will create a more decadent gravy that pairs well with the beef.
• Add root vegetables: For a one-pan meal, add root vegetables like carrots and potatoes to the foil packet. They’ll cook alongside the roast and absorb the savory flavors of the meat and seasoning.
