Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe

Carved from the muscle along the back of the cow, the sirloin tip is a luxurious roast, like the four-star version of chuck shoulder or brisket.

It’s still a lean cut, but it doesn’t need the same extra-long braising to bring out the flavor and tenderness: if you love roast beef and want to splurge a little on something special, this is definitely the cut for you.

In this recipe, the sirloin is simply rubbed with garlic and herbs and then roasted slowly under dry heat, allowing you to choose exactly what level of doneness you’d like.

If you like it a little pink inside, aim for 135 degrees in the center. 140 will give you medium-rare; if you like it even more thoroughly cooked, aim for 145 or 150.

To get the best flavor, also plan enough time to let the roast sit for 20 minutes after you take it out of the oven. This lets the juices even out throughout the roast, so they end up on your plate and are not wasted on the cutting board.

This is a great dinner for busy evenings because the oven really does all the work for you. A few minutes of prep time takes care of the roast until it’s time for dinner, giving you the perfect opportunity to experiment with more creative sides or to just get something else done and not worry about food for a while.

Serve your masterpiece with a big pile of vegetables on the side, and enjoy something a little bit special, livening up the weekly menu.
