Sirloin Tip Crock Pot Roast With Gravy
"I bought a big roast at Costco, and threw this in the crock pot with some other ingredients, based loosely on some other recipes I've read here. I have never spent so little time on something that came out so good!"
- Ready In:
- 6hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 5 lbs sirloin tip roast
- 1 (1 ounce) package Italian salad dressing mix
- 2 -3 small onions, chopped
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tablespoons flour, diluted in
- 2 tablespoons water
directions
- Put chopped onions on the bottom of the crock pot so the meat has something to rest on.
- Put meat in the crock pot and rub the salad dressing powder all over it, turning to get all sides.
- Open soup can and spread all over the roast with a butter knife.
- Do NOT add any liquid to the crock pot!
- Cook on high for two hours, then on low for another four, at least.
- You don't want the roast to be falling apart, but you want it tender.
- Remove the roast and put on a platter.
- Cover with foil and let it rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the diluted flour to the juices in the crock; turn the crock on high for 20 more minutes.
- Stir frequently.
- You can also make the gravy by adding the crock pot juices and flour mixture to a skillet over a med/high flame.

Excellent - I cooked on low for 8 hours and served with horseradish mashed potatoes. Used the gravy juice as is did not need to add the flour/water. -
Good. My 6-lb. roast was a little dry, but I don't think that's the recipe's fault. (We have a freezer full of beef because my husband's family raises cattle.) I cooked it on low for about nine hours while I was at work. -
This was really great. I only had a 2 lb roast but it was just for 2 of us so there was still plenty left. I threw in a few carrots just because I like them. I did not thicken the gravy but it was fine as it was. Being conscious of sodium, I also liked the italian dressing mix because it is much lower in sodium than the traditional onion soup mix. -
Awesome flavor. I had a roast that was just over 3 lbs. I cooked on low for the whole day (8 hours?). I did not thicken the gravy juice; it was fine for us but if you are a thick gravy fan, go ahead and add the flour.<br/>I will definitely be using this recipe again and again. It is the perfect alternative to my usual onion soup mix chuck roast... -
This was good. After reading Scrivener1's note, I marinated the roast in Italian dressing for an hour before putting it in the crock pot, rather than use the dry rub. AND I added fresh mushrooms a couple of hours before it was done. Delicious!

I live just outside the Big Apple. I am passionate about my husband, my kids, my cats, my friends, reading, cooking, and Santa Fe. I love "Marcella Cucina" and have enjoyed everything I made from it, but on a daily basis I use Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything".
My pet peeve is procrastinators - don't they know it's ALWAYS later than you think????
