How to make Sirloin Tip in the Instant Pot

A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.

STEP ONE: Combine the Montreal steak seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, and rub all over the roast evenly.

STEP TWO: Heat one tablespoon of oil using the saute button, and sear both sides of the meat. Remove the roast and set aside.

I recommend waiting at least 2 minutes after the oil is added on saute to add the meat. You can also wait until the Instant Pot reads "HOT."

STEP THREE: Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and saute the onions. Add in the garlic until fragrant.

STEP FOUR: Turn off the pressure cooker and pour in the beef broth. Deglaze the pot with a wooden spoon.

This just means to get as much off the bottom of the pot as possible.

STEP FIVE: Place the roast back to the pressure cooker and add the carrots and potatoes. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add the lid and close the pressure valve.

STEP SIX: Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then complete a 3-minute natural release then manually release the Instant Pot.

Use an Instant-Read Meat Thermometer to check the temperature.

If it's too low, remove the vegetables and turn it to "Keep Warm." Let it roast until it reaches temperature.

STEP SEVEN: Place the vegetables and onions on a platter to rest, and turn on the saute function. Combine the cold water and cornstarch in a bowl. Once juices are boiling, slowly add the cornstarch to thicken the gravy.

STEP EIGHT: Cut the tip roast into thin slices and serve over roast and vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley.

How to Make Frozen Instant Pot Sirloin Tip Roast

STEP ONE: Add the Montreal steak seasoning, salt, and pepper to roast and sear both sides of the beef. Place the meat in a sealed zipper bag and freeze.

Using an already frozen and unseasoned sirloin tip roast is possible, but the beef sirloin may not be as flavorful.

STEP TWO: When you are ready to cook, start at step three above. Place the frozen meat in the pot and arrange the veggies, broth, and Worcestershire. Close the lid and pressure valve.

STEP THREE: Turn to manual high pressure, and set the timer for 40 minutes. Complete a 10-minute natural release and check the internal temperature of the meat.

If it's not done, turn to the "Keep Warm" setting and allow the beef sirloin tip roast to finish cooking.

STEP FOUR: Prepare the gravy as shown in the above recipe and serve as directed. Enjoy!

I like to have my tip roast thin-sliced when served.

Can you overcook steak in an Instant Pot?

Yes, unfortunately, you can overcook the meat. If you are working with a smaller cut of beef sirloin, like a 2lb cut, you will need to lessen the amount of cook time by 5 minutes.

When overcooked, steak is still edible. It won't be as enjoyable if it's not cooked properly.

Be sure to use a digital meat thermometer when checking the temperature. For a medium-rare roast, it should be 120 degrees F.

Does pressure cooking tenderize meat?

Yes! Tenderizing meat is one of the biggest advantages to pressure cooking.

You can use cheaper cuts of meat because the pressure cooker breaks down the collagen in the meat into a gelatin as it cooks. This is what makes the beef super tender.

What is the Difference Between a Natural and Manual Release on the Instant Pot?

A natural release means to allow the Instant Pot to slowly lose pressure on its own. You don't have to touch any buttons or steam valves since the Instant Pot will automatically start naturally releasing pressure as soon as the timer hits zero and beeps.

A quick-release, or a manual release, is when you manually turn or press the vent valve to quickly release the pressure. The pressure is completely gone once the valve drops.

The Instant Pot will let out a lot of steam when being released manually, so it's important to either use a wooden spoon, or my favorite is to use a long oven mitt to protect my hand and forearm from the hot steam.

Why is my roast tough in an instant pot?

If you find the Sirloin Tip Roast in the Instant Pot tough when checking it, it just hasn't been cooked long enough.

Turn the device to the warm setting, and let it rest until it softens.

If it's extremely tough, you can cook it on high pressure for 5 minutes and allow a 3-minute natural release.

Do I have to sear the meat?

While you don't technically have to sear the meat, it's going to greatly affect the outcome.

Searing the beef helps lock in the moisture. It gives it a nice crust that enhances the flavor.

Skipping this will leave the instant pot sirloin tip roast a little boring and it will taste like it's missing something.
