Juicy and Tender Sirloin Tip Roast with Rich Homemade Gravy Recipe

Introduction

This tender and flavorful sirloin tip roast slow-cooks to perfection, offering a delicious meal that’s perfect for family dinners or special occasions. Infused with garlic, thyme, and a rich red wine gravy, this roast is both hearty and comforting.

Ingredients

• 2.5 lb sirloin tip roast
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup red wine (broth or cooking wine, red)
• 3 carrots (optional, peeled and cut into large chunks)
• 1-2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, to thicken gravy)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rub the sirloin tip roast evenly with salt, garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or deep pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on both sides until browned, then remove it from the heat.
2. Step 2: Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine to the bottom of the Dutch oven. If using, add the minced garlic and carrot chunks. Cover the pot with its lid and slow cook the roast in the oven for 3 to 3.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easy to shred.
3. Step 3: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Place the Dutch oven back on the stovetop over medium heat. To thicken the drippings into a gravy, whisk in cornstarch (or arrowroot or flour) gradually until desired consistency is reached. Slice the roast, serve on a platter, and pour the gravy over the top.

Tips & Variations

• For even more flavor, marinate the roast in the seasoning mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
• Substitute red wine with extra beef broth if you prefer to avoid alcohol.
• Add potatoes or other root vegetables along with the carrots for a complete one-pot meal.
• Use arrowroot or flour instead of cornstarch to thicken the gravy if preferred.

Storage

Store leftover roast and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the roast seems dry. The gravy may thicken further when chilled; stir in a bit of water or broth when reheating to loosen it.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I cook this roast in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can transfer all ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until tender.

Is it necessary to sear the roast before slow cooking?

Searing is not mandatory but highly recommended. It enhances the flavor and color of the roast by caramelizing the surface before slow cooking.

Main Ingredients

• 2.5 lb sirloin tip roast
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup red wine (broth or cooking wine, red)

Optional Ingredients

• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
• 1–2 tbsp cornstarch (to thicken gravy)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Season: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rub the sirloin tip roast evenly with salt, garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper to season the meat thoroughly.
2. Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the roast inside and sear on all sides until browned, which helps lock in the flavors. Remove the roast from heat after searing.
3. Add Liquid and Vegetables: Pour beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine into the bottom of the Dutch oven. Add the minced garlic and carrots if using, distributing them around the roast. Cover with the lid.
4. Slow Cook the Roast: Place the covered Dutch oven in the preheated oven and slow cook the roast for 3 to 3.5 hours. The meat should become fork-tender and easy to shred.
5. Rest and Prepare Gravy: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Transfer the roast to a cutting board to slice. Meanwhile, place the Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium heat. Whisk in cornstarch (or arrowroot or flour) a little at a time to thicken the drippings into a smooth gravy.
6. Serve: Slice the roast and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the homemade gravy over the slices and serve hot for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

• Use a Dutch oven or any heavy, oven-safe pot with a lid for best results.
• Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your oven or roast size to ensure tenderness.
• Optional carrots add sweetness and texture but can be omitted according to preference.
• For a thicker gravy, increase cornstarch gradually and whisk well to avoid lumps.
• Resting the meat after cooking is crucial to keep it juicy.
