Beef Sirloin Tip Roast

The Sirloin Tip Roast is cut from the hindquarters, adjacent to the sirloin. The sirloin tip roast is flavorful, but like most lean cuts, it can be tough and should be braised or stewed.  Braising is a cooking method that involves browning meat or vegetables in oil, then cooking them in a small amount of liquid in a covered pan, either on the stovetop, in a crockpot, or in the oven. The long, slow cook time helps develop flavor and turns even the toughest of meat cuts fork-tender. It is similar to stewing, but braising is done with less liquid and usually used for larger cuts of meat.
