- Yield: 1 (3-pound) beef sirloin tip roast
Ingredients
- 1 (3-pound) beef sirloin tip roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 medium onion, sliced (optional, for added flavor)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the beef sirloin tip roast dry with paper towels to help achieve a good sear.
- Season the roast. Rub the roast evenly with olive oil, then season all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs.
- Sear for flavor. Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side. This step locks in flavor and improves texture.
- Prepare for roasting. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Scatter sliced onions around the roast if using.
- Roast low and slow. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Roast uncovered until the internal temperature reaches:
- 130–135°F for medium-rare
- 140–145°F for medium
(About 20–25 minutes per pound.)
- Rest before slicing. Remove the roast from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice and serve. Slice thinly against the grain and spoon pan juices over the meat before serving.
Tip: Sirloin tip roast is lean—avoid overcooking to prevent dryness. A meat thermometer is highly recommended.
