Ingredients
  

  • 2.5-3 pounds sirloin tip roast
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • 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 it 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.

Notes

Rest for Success - you want to rest your Sirloin Tip roast before and after cooking for peak tenderness. Resting at room temperature before cooking, raises the internal temperature of the roast allowing it to cook more evenly. Resting for 15 minutes after cooking, allows the natural juices to redistribute resulting in a tender, juicy roast.
Carve against the grain - by slicing against the grain, you are reducing the length of the muscle fibers and connective tissue. Resulting in a delicious roast that is more tender and easier to chew.
For best results marinade overnight to tenderize the roast. Marinade recipes included in post above.
Make an Herbed Butter or Horseradish Sauce to enhance the flavor:

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).

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.
