It was on sale but now I'm afraid of ruining it because I'm not sure what to do with it. It is just about two pounds. Any suggestions?

It seems to me that baking a tip round roast makes them too dry. I have better luck browning (searing) it well in a little oil, then putting it in the crockpot on low with onions, dried onion mix in 1 - 1 1/2 cup water. Makes a good gravy and a tender roast.

Or, sear, then put in crockpot with onions, gravy mix with 1 1/2 cups broth on low for 6-8 hours. Thicken gravy as needed, or thin with broth if needed. I also add more seasoning sometimes (just not salt - may add that later to taste)

Good luck!
 
I second the crock pot idea. I use the onion soup mix and beef broth, some vegetables, sometimes a can of tomatoes.
 

A former dry roaster cooker, reformed:

A roast (round tip being a great cut :thumbsup2), in the crockpot.
Mix Liton beefy onion soup mix with water in measuring cup. Not specific measurements.

Depending on size and time, I usually cook on low for 6-8 hours. But I usually cook 2 roasts equaling 6+lbs for my family of 7 (which there are hardly ever leffovers).

To avoid the dry out roast, after cooking I take in out and let it sit for 15-20 minutes then slice thinnly against grain and put back into juices. The allows the pieces to absorb the juices and makes each slice as tender as can be.

Never fails. AND now I am QUEEN of the tender, moist, roasts.!!!



(BTW I have been waiting for weeks for a good sale on roasts).
 
Slice it up extra thin.
Pile on cheddar cheese and diced chilis.
Roll it up and skewer it.
Grill over mesquite.
Brush with Worcestershire sauce while grilling.
Eat :)
 
Start it off in the crock pot in the morning (before work) and add water to it to cook, add some onion soup mix (I get Lipton or walmart brand), and some seasoning salt. If you can, in evening try to break it apart some, and then try and get some of the fat off of it. If you want to around noon, add some cut up potatoes and a can of carrots (drain the juice), and a can of tomato sauce and it's YUMMY!! You have a full meal!!! Have some crackers with it or make you some corn bread!

The round tip roast has little to no fat - that's the reason just roasting it in the oven makes it so dry. It's not like a chuck roast.
 
We also cook roast in the slow cooker with an onion soup envelope - we add a large can of cream of chicken soup *the gravy is fantastic when it's all done.
 
OOh such good ideas above. I would crock pot it with a packet of french onion soup mix. Then I'd throw cubed potatoes and carrots in midway for a roast beef style meal.
 
I make this in the crock pot and my family loves it. Turn on your crock pot. Sear the roast on all sides. Season all sides with pepper and garlic powder. In the crock pot, combine 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 1 packet onion soup mix powder. (I use 2 cans of soup because DH likes the extra "gravy") Add cubed potatoes, sliced onions and baby carrots. Cook on high for 4 hrs or on low for 8 hours. I serve it with rice.

This my recipe too, except we use cut up garlic, probably enough for 2 or 3 cloves, pepper, cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken and throw a bunch of mushrooms in about half-way through.

It works very well with a hot crusty loaf of French or italian bread and a good rioja or bordeaux.

I rub it with kosher or sea salt and put it in the oven at 225 degrees until the internal temp reaches 125. Then raise oven temp to 500 until internal temp reaches 130 degrees. Yum! I also use this method for bottom rounds and eye roasts.
