What is a Sirloin Tip Roast?
Also called a beef sirloin tip roast, or a round tip roast, this is the portion that is cut from the hindquarters of the cow and is often a tougher cut- the larger the muscle, the tougher the cut. This is not the same as a sirloin roast.
A sirloin tip oven roast should be slowly cooked to tenderize the meat, to turn this cut of beef into a masterpiece! Using a thermometer ensures your dish comes out perfectly cooked and meat is juicy and tender, never dry!
How to Cook a Sirloin Tip Roast
A high temp at first creates a crust on this roast and seals in the juices. The lower temperature allows the roast to slow cook to tender perfection. This roast is lean so it is important that it isn’t overcooked (use a thermometer). It is also essential that you let the meat rest at least 15 minutes before carving.
Alternate Pro Tip - start the meat at 300 degrees and once the meat reaches temperature (see below), keep it on the side until the other meal components are ready. Then do a ‘reverse sear’ which essentially means putting it on a hot fry pan to create a crust.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Allow a 4 or 5 lb roast to sit at room temperature for a good hour.
Rub the olive oil and seasonings (we used Silk Road steak spice) onto the meat and set aside.
Slice a whole onion (yellow or white) into thick rings and place on the bottom of a dark pan. A stockpot or cast-iron skillet will do! This will be the foundation for the top sirloin roast to rest on while it roasts AND the onions provide flavour!
Roast for 15 minutes to create crust (or do reverse sear).
Next, slow roast at 300°F for 50-75 minutes.
The roast should reach an internal temperature of 135°F for medium rare. Take your roast out of the oven about 5-7° before it is cooked as it will continue to cook while resting under tented foil.
After roasting, the onions can be discarded (as they tend to get quite dark) or blended with the juices and into a sauce or delicious gravy. Yum!
