Well, let me tell ya, if you ever get yourself a nice piece of sirloin tip roast and ain’t sure how to cook it right, don’t worry none. With a pressure cooker, you can make that meat so tender it’ll melt in your mouth. It’s a simple thing really, even for someone like me who ain’t got no fancy cooking tools, just a good ol’ pressure cooker and some seasoning. Now, let’s get on with it.
Ingredients You Gonna Need:
- 3 pounds of sirloin tip roast
- 2 tablespoons of Montreal steak seasoning (or whatever seasoning you like, but this one’s real good)
- Salt and pepper, just a pinch
- A couple of onions, chopped up nice
- Some garlic cloves, crushed (don’t be shy with them, they’ll make it taste good)
- 2 cups of beef broth (you can use water if you ain’t got none, but broth is better)
- Carrots and potatoes, cut up in chunks
Step 1: First thing, take that sirloin tip roast and rub it down real good with the Montreal steak seasoning. Don’t be skimpy on it, rub it all over the meat, front and back. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over it too, just enough to bring out the flavors. You want that seasoning to stick, so don’t rush it.

Step 2: Now, heat up your pressure cooker. If it’s one of them stovetop kinds, put it on medium heat. If it’s an electric one, just hit the sauté button. Once it’s hot, throw in a little bit of oil, just enough to coat the bottom, and brown that roast on all sides. This might take a few minutes, but don’t rush it. You want that nice, brown crust on it; it’ll give the meat so much flavor later on.
Step 3: After you got your roast all browned up, take it out and set it aside for a minute. In the same pot, toss in your chopped onions and garlic. Let ‘em cook for a few minutes till they get soft and smell all good. You might need to scrape the bottom a little to get all that brown goodness that’s stuck to the pot—this is where all the flavor hides!
Step 4: Now, pour in your beef broth (or water if that’s all you got) and make sure you scrape up any last bits stuck to the pot. Once that’s done, put your roast back in the pressure cooker. Add your carrots and potatoes around the meat. It don’t matter how you put ’em in, but try to make sure everything’s sitting nice and even.
Step 5: Close up the pressure cooker and lock the lid. If it’s a stovetop one, turn it up to high heat, and once you hear that hissing sound, turn it down to low heat and let it cook for about 45 minutes. For an electric one, set it to pressure cook for about 45 minutes. Don’t worry if you ain’t got no fancy timer or nothing, just set your clock or watch.
Step 6: When the timer goes off, carefully release the pressure. If you’re not in a rush, just let it release naturally, but if you’re hungry right away, you can do the quick release. When you open it up, that roast should be nice and tender. If it’s still a little tough, you can put the lid back on and cook it for another 10-15 minutes. Sometimes, the meat needs a bit more time to break down.
Step 7: Once it’s all tender, pull the roast out, and let it rest for a few minutes. While it’s resting, you can stir up the veggies and broth in the pot. If you want to make the gravy a bit thicker, just add a little cornstarch mixed with water, and stir it in till it gets nice and thick.
Step 8: Slice up your roast, serve it with the veggies and gravy, and there you go. A good, hearty meal that’ll fill you right up and make you feel like you’re eating at a Sunday dinner table. The pressure cooker does all the hard work for you, so you don’t have to be standing over a hot stove all day.
And that’s it! See, it ain’t that hard to make a pressure-cooked sirloin tip roast. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have yourself a mighty fine meal, whether you got a bunch of folks comin’ over or you just want something filling for yourself. Enjoy it, and don’t forget to take your time—good food’s worth it!
