My favorite is a sirloin roast, but many different cuts of beef can be used. In this recipe, I used a top sirloin roast, but I have also used a bottom round and it worked perfectly fine. Flank steak is another good cut of meat for this recipe. You can even use tougher cuts, like a chuck roast or a rump roast or stew beef that you buy already cut. If you are pressure cooking your beef tips, you will want to increase your pressure cook time to about 25-30 minutes to get the meat tender. If you are using a different method, you will need to cook it longer as well.
