Ingredients
- 3 lb sirloin tip roast
- salt
- pepper
- Garlic or other herbs as per preference
Preparation
Step 1
1-Remove the sirloin tip roast from the refrigerator and set it on a platter or flat surface. Allow the roast to warm to room temperature, approximately one hour. Cooking a chilled roast will result in the meat roasting unevenly.
2-Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Apply salt and pepper generously. The large, dense cut of meat requires extra flavoring because it has less fat.
3-Position a wire rack inside a shallow roasting pan, then place the roast on the rack to promote even cooking. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the roast, then place it into the oven and heat for 15 minutes.
4-Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees and heat the sirloin tip roast for an additional 28 to 30 minutes per pound. The brief high temperature will give the roast a flavorful, golden outer coating.
5-Remove the sirloin tip roast from the oven. The thermometer should read 145 degrees; if it does not, return the roast to the oven and continue heating until it does.
6-Let the cooked sirloin tip roast sit undisturbed for at least 10 minutes, then cut into thin slices and serve with prepared gravy.
