Ingredients

• 3 to 3½ pounds sirloin tip roast, fully thawed

• 1 packet (1 ounce) dry ranch dressing seasoning mix
• 1 packet (1 ounce) dry au jus gravy mix

How to Make Slow Cooker Sirloin Tip Roast

1. Add the roast.
Place the thawed sirloin tip roast in a large slow cooker. If it has a fat cap, position the roast fat-side up.

2. Make the gravy mixture.
In a bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, and au jus gravy mix until well combined.

3. Pour over the beef.
Spread the creamy seasoning mixture over and around the roast, allowing some of it to settle underneath the meat.

4. Add the butter.
Arrange the sliced butter over the roast and around the sauce.

5. Slow cook.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

6. Slice or shred.
Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Slice it across the grain or gently shred it with two forks.

7. Coat with gravy.
Return the beef to the slow cooker and spoon the warm gravy over it. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Easy Recipe Variations

Add Pepperoncini

For a little tangy flavor, add ¼ to ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers along with a small splash of their brine.

Use Cream of Mushroom Soup

Replace the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a deeper, more savory flavor.

Add Vegetables

Make this a one-pot slow cooker dinner by adding scrubbed baby potatoes and thick-cut carrots around the roast. Make sure the vegetables have enough cooking liquid around them to cook properly.

Make the Gravy Thicker

If you prefer a thicker gravy, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Stir the slurry into the hot gravy and cook briefly until thickened.

Thin the Gravy

If the gravy becomes too rich or thick, stir in a small amount of low-sodium beef broth or milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover roast and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.

When reheating, warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add a splash of water or broth if the gravy has thickened too much.

For food safety, start with a fully thawed roast and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. Use the slow cooker on LOW or HIGH for cooking rather than relying on the WARM setting to cook raw meat.
