Very good, but more like a pot roast (braising) then a roast. Easy prep and great taste.

    I'd much rather give this 4 1/2 stars. This was very tender, but I kinda wish the gravy was a bit thicker and soaked into the roast a bit more. Don't get me wrong, the roast was still very moist, I just felt that the taste doesn't penetrate through the entire roast as much as I would like. I will DEFINITELY make this again, though! Thanks for the great recipe!

    This was very easy. I must confess my husband and son enjoyed it more than me (although I ate my share LOL). I cooked it covered, and feel it would definitely have dried out had I done otherwise. I also found the remaining gravy very salty and toned it down with about 1-1/2 cups water. It was still thick enough. Next time I will add water to the original liquid and use a blade or cross-rib roast instead of the more pricey sirloin tip. BTW, this smells divine as it cooks!

    I will admit that the combination of the ingredients for this recipe made me a skeptic. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious and tender this roast was. It melted in my mouth and I received many compliments from my family who enjoyed it as much as I did. I highly recommend this recipe!
