Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the sirloin tip steak in a roasting pan.
- Fill the pan with water until just covering the steak.
- Mix the mushroom soup into the water.
- Chop the small onion and add it to the water along with the marjoram and garlic powder.
- Cover the pan.
- Bake in the oven at 275°F for about 4 hours.
- Check occasionally after 2½ to 3 hours to ensure the water is still there.
- If the water gets too low, add a little more water.
- Check the steak with a fork; when it falls apart easily, it is done.
- The water and soup mixture will serve as the gravy.
Tips & Substitutions
For more flavor, marinate the sirloin tip steak overnight with additional spices or a splash of soy sauce. If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk in a cornstarch slurry just before serving. Consider using canned cream of celery soup as a substitution for mushroom soup for a different taste. Keep an eye on the cooking time, as larger cuts may take longer to become tender.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steakie-roastie with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the flavorful gravy. Steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can provide a nice contrast and balance the richness of the dish. For a comforting meal, pair it with sides like Mardi Gras Slaw, which adds a refreshing crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak and gravy mixture in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out. Alternatively, microwave the portions on low power in short intervals, stirring occasionally until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute other cuts like chuck roast or brisket. These cuts also become tender when cooked slowly at low temperatures. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, ensuring they are fork-tender before serving.
Is it possible to cook this recipe in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! You can adapt this recipe for a slow cooker by searing the steak first and then adding all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the steak is tender and flavorful.
What can I do if the steak is not tender after 4 hours?
If the steak isn't tender after 4 hours, simply cover and continue baking, checking every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired tenderness. The slow cooking method allows for more time to break down the connective tissues in the meat.
