Perfect Crock Pot Roast Tips

Do not trim the fat from the roast pieces before cooking. The fat adds depth of flavor and helps keep the beef roast moist during the slow cooking process.

  • Use tongs to remove fat from the slow cooker after the beef is ready.

To thicken gravy: Make a cornstarch slurry if you prefer an even thicker sauce.

In a separate bowl, mix a couple of tablespoons of cornstarch with a cup of cold water. This helps to thicken the cooking liquids and create a smooth gravy.

Leftovers: Leftover sirloin tip goes great in cottage pie, as a topper inside sliders, or as a substitute in dried beef dip. You can cut up and use beef in nearly any recipe as a quick fix.

Beef Storage Instructions

Properly storing leftover Slow Cooker Beef Sirloin Tip Roast:

  • Allow the roast to cool down before proceeding.
  • To store leftover roast, transfer it into an airtight container.
  • When refrigerated, leftover roast can be safely consumed for up to 4 days.

Commonly Asked Slow Cooker Recipe Questions

Should I brown the roast before placing it in the slow cooker?

While it’s not mandatory, browning the roast before slow cooking can enhance the flavor by developing a rich, caramelized crust.

Searing the meat keeps flavor in and also looks beautiful on the plate.

Can I cook the frozen roast in the slow cooker?

It is recommended to thaw the roast before cooking in the slow cooker to ensure even cooking and accurate temperature measurement. Cooking frozen meat might result in unevenly cooked and tough meat.

Cuts of Meat for Slow Cooker Roast:

Often, different cuts of meat are scarce in local stores. Some beef roast options work well and still create juicy pot roast pieces.

With any choice of pot roast, cut up the large roast or beef pieces into 1 inch before proceeding with the recipe.

  • Sirloin Tip Roast: As a leaner cut, sirloin tip roast can maintain moisture and tenderness when cooked slowly with some liquid.
  • Plate Short Ribs: Offering a hearty flavor, plate short ribs are delicious when slow-cooked with a savory braising liquid.
  • Tri-Tip Roast: Tri-tip can be wonderfully juicy in the slow cooker, making it a great choice for sandwiches and entrees.
