- Sirloin tip roast
- Garlic salt
- Black pepper
- Onion powder
- Steak seasoning: I like Montreal Steak Seasoning, but use your favorite.
- Butter
🥣How to Make Sirloin Tip Roast
- Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. While the oven heats up, mix the garlic salt, black pepper, onion powder, and steak seasoning in a small bowl. Use your hands to rub the seasoning over the roast to cover every inch.
- Next, heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Sear the roast on each side for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned.
- Once your roast is seared, put the skillet into your preheated oven and let it cook for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- After that, turn off the stove, but leave the roast inside for another 40 minutes. This is the secret to getting that perfect medium roast. But don’t peek! Keep the oven door closed to ensure even cooking.
- Finally, remove the roast from the oven and verify that its internal temperature has reached at least 140 degrees F. Then, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
🍴Serving Ideas
Now that you’ve cooked this juicy, tender sirloin tip roast to perfection, let’s discuss serving ideas. I’m all about keeping things simple yet delicious.
One of my favorite ways to serve this roast is with some good old mashed potatoes and green beans because nothing goes with beef like mashed potatoes.
Another great option is to slice the roast and serve it on a crusty baguette for a hearty sandwich. Add a little horseradish sauce, and you’ve got a gourmet lunch without the effort.
Let’s not forget the classic roast beef dinner with Yorkshire puddings and gravy. It’s a British classic for a reason! But who am I to dictate your side dishes? This roast is so versatile that it practically pairs well with anything.

💭How to Store
Leftover roast can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Just ensure it’s in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
If you’re like me and love having a stash of ready-to-eat meals in your freezer, you’re in luck. This roast beef freezes beautifully! Cut it into meal-sized portions, wrap each portion securely in foil, then place them in a freezer bag. It can be stored this way for up to 3 months.
To reheat, defrost in the fridge overnight, then warm it in a 250°F oven until heated. And there you have it, a delicious meal ready to go.
⭐Tips
Be sure to check out the step by step instructions
- Despite its name, the sirloin tip roast isn’t from the sirloin section but from the round or rear of the cow. This means it’s leaner and less tender than top sirloin, but it’s also budget-friendly and can be incredibly flavorful if cooked properly.
- The best way to cook sirloin tip roast is low and slow. This approach allows the connective tissue to break down, resulting in a super tender roast.
- When it comes to cooking meat, temperature is super important. For a sirloin tip roast, you’ll want to aim for an internal temperature of at least 135°F for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to make sure you’ve got it just right. Remember, undercooked meat can be a food safety issue, and overcooked meat can be…unappetizing.
- Once cooked, let your roast rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting into it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and flavorful roast.
