How to make this Sirloin Tip Roast recipe

Remove the roast from the fridge 30-60 minutes before prep and allow it to sit at room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels. Tie kitchen twine around the center of the roast to keep it together during roasting.

In a small bowl, combine garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Rub the roast down with oil, then sprinkle it with the herb mixture, pressing the herb mixture into the meat.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes per side, until browned.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until it reaches your desired doneness: 115 degrees F for rare (30-35 minutes), 125 degrees F for medium rare (40-45 minutes), or 135 degrees F for medium (50-55 minutes).

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the roast to a cutting board. Cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. (This will seal in the juices and the internal temperature will rise another 10 degrees to reach the right level of doneness.) Slice the meat against the grain to serve.

A cast iron skillet and kitchen twine are used to make this recipe.

Creamy horseradish dipping sauce recipe

2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish

¾ cup of sour cream

¼ cup of mayonnaise

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard (optional)

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black pepper

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover the bowl and chill this dipping sauce in the refrigerator until serving.

Herbed Balsamic Butter recipe

½ cup of unsalted butter (one stick of unsalted butter)

½ teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped

1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar

A pinch of black pepper (optional)

Allow butter to soften to room temperature. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until balsamic vinegar is fully combined with the other ingredients. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator until set (approximately 30 minutes).

To form ‘pats’ of herbed balsamic butter make a butter roll or 'log.' Use a rubber spatula to scoop the mixture from the bowl onto a sheet of 6 x 6-inch parchment paper forming a thick, 4-inch line. Roll the parchment paper to create a log by rolling the paper tightly. Refrigerate until set (approximately 30 minutes). Remove the herbed butter roll 15 minutes before serving. Slice into pats immediately before serving.

Best Tips for Making this Sirloin Tip Roast

Always cover the cooked beef sirloin tip roast and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender roast.

Carve against the grain when slicing your sirloin tip roast. By doing this, you make the roast more tender and easier to chew.

Best ways to Tenderize Sirloin Tip Roast

A sirloin tip roast can be a tougher cut of meat. This lean cut can be tenderized with a marinade. Soaking the beef sirloin tip roast in a vinegar based marinade will break down the meat fibers, making your Sirloin Tip Roast tender while bringing out the flavor of the juicy meat.

Marinating overnight (12 hours) is ideal for optimal tenderness. In a time crunch? Your Sirloin Tip Roast should still marinate for a minimum of 4 hours.

Always allow your Sirloin Tip to come to room temperature before cooking.

Vinegars that can be used: White wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and apple cider vinegar.

Mustard can also be used as a tenderizer. Instead of soaking the Sirloin Tip Roast in vinegar it can be coated in mustard and left to tenderize overnight. If you do not care for the flavor of mustard, simply rinse the meat to remove the mustard and pat it dry with paper towels. Once the roast is tenderized, follow the Sirloin Tip recipe instructions for cooking.

Chopped onion, garlic, Rosemary, Thyme, and Sage are examples of seasonings to include in your marinade.  For an extra kick, you can also add prepared horseradish.

Vinegar based marinade recipe

¼ cup red wine vinegar (or what you have on hand)

¼ cup oil

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

¼ cup chopped onion

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme

Cover and place into the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours. Marinating the Sirloin Tip Roast overnight is best.

Mustard Marinade Recipe

⅓ cup mustard (Dijon or regular yellow mustard)

2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried sage or thyme

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black pepper

Instructions for Sirloin Tip Roast mustard marinade: Place beef roast into a bowl or shallow dish. Place all of the ingredients into a small bowl and mix to create a thick marinade. Spoon the marinade over the roast and rub into the meat, coating all sides of the roast.

How long to cook a Sirloin Tip Roast per pound?

Follow a low and slow cooking method to ensure a juicy and tender roast. Sear your roast first, for about 3 minutes per side. Then place it into a 250 degree F oven for a cooking time of 15 to 20 minutes per pound.

Using a meat thermometer is the best way to check the internal temperature of the roast.

Other Best ways to cook beef roast

Instant Pot is a free-standing pressure cooker kitchen appliance that uses heat and liquid to create steam for fast cooking. Broth and seasonings (examples include: chicken broth, beef broth, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, onion, and black pepper) are often added to an instant pot when cooking a Sirloin Tip Roast. The cook time of a Sirloin Tip Roast is approximately 30 minutes with this appliance.

We have not cooked an Instant Pot Sirloin Tip Roast, but try our Instant Pot Whole Chicken, Instant Pot Salmon, Instant Pot Artichokes, and Instant Pot Chicken Chili.

A Slow Cooker is another kitchen appliance that can be used to cook beef roast 'low and slow' over a period of several hours. Although we prefer using a slow cooker to prepare dishes such as chili or stews, there are many recipes available to prepare a beef roast in a slow cooker.

A quick sear over high heat with oil will bring out the beefy flavor in this lean cut. Broth and seasonings are added to the slow cooker to simmer along with the Sirloin Tip Roast. Most recipes recommend an 8-hour cook time. The slow cooked beef can be shredded or sliced.

Grilling a Sirloin Tip Roast is another method for cooking. A beef roast should be grilled over indirect heat. Place the roast on the cooler side of the grill, with the charcoal piled up on the opposite side or with only half of the burners turned on. The ideal temperature is between 325 and 350 degrees with a cook time of approximately 25 minutes per pound.
