Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
