Questions about Tip round roast

What is tip round roast called by a butcher?

Tip round roast is a lean cut from the hindquarter, near the rump and the top of the leg. Names for beef cuts differ between countries, so describe it as a lean hindquarter roasting joint if the exact name is unfamiliar.

How do you cook tip round roast so it stays tender?

Brown it all over in a hot pan, then roast on a rack at 220 °C for 15 minutes; lower the oven to 160 °C and continue until a meat thermometer reads 55–60 °C in the centre for pink beef. Rest it loosely covered for 15–20 minutes, then carve thinly across the grain.

How long should tip round roast cook?

Cooking time depends on the joint’s shape as well as its weight, so use a thermometer rather than the clock: after the initial 15 minutes at 220 °C, allow roughly 20–25 minutes per 500 g at 160 °C for pink beef. Check the centre temperature and rest the joint before carving.

Can you cook tip round roast in a slow cooker?

Yes. Brown the joint first, then cook it with a little stock, onion and herbs on low for about 7–8 hours, until very tender; this suits shredding better than neat roast slices. Keep the liquid below halfway up the meat so the joint braises rather than boils.

What goes well with tip round roast?

Serve thin slices with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and gravy, or use leftovers in sandwiches with mustard or horseradish. Its lean texture also works well in beef salad or a cold platter with pickles.

How should you store leftover tip round roast?

Cool leftovers promptly, cover or seal them, and refrigerate within two hours; eat within three to four days. Freeze sliced portions with a little gravy for up to about three months, then thaw in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot.

Can you use another cut instead of tip round roast?

Top round or bottom round roast makes a close substitute; both are lean hindquarter cuts and benefit from thin slicing across the grain. For comparison, top round roast has 23.5 g protein and 3.81 g fat per 100 g, while tip round roast has 21 g protein and 6.3 g fat.

Is tip round roast a lean cut of beef?

It is relatively lean, with 6.3 g fat per 100 g, and provides 21 g protein per 100 g. Trim any visible outer fat before cooking, but avoid overcooking: the little marbling means it can turn dry.
