Sirloin tip is a good, tasty cut of beef that you may not be familiar with. It is a round cut that is also known as the peeled knuckle. It comes from the hindquarter, or back end of the animal, and is used for walking. This makes the meat lean and not as tender as some other cuts.
It calls for careful marinading and cooking, but the results are worth the effort. The sirloin tip can be purchased as a whole roast or as steaks. We have provided you with three delicious, easy Instant Pot recipes for sirloin tip roasts. Pressure cooking retains the meat’s moisture and makes it beautifully tender.
