Sirloin tip roast is relatively easy to prepare, but I give the recipe my own special touch with a delicious sea salt, garlic, and herb crust. Cooking it low and slow in the oven makes it exceptionally mouth-watering. In theory, gravy is optional, but you really don’t want those scrumptious pan drippings to go to waste. Plus it’s a wonderful sauce on the beef roast, vegetables, and leftovers. I’ve provided you with a gluten-free beef gravy recipe below. slow roast beef rubAll You Need to Know About Sirloin Tip RoastWhen it comes to lean, economical, and easy to cook cuts of beef, it’s hard to beat the sirloin tip roast. It’s a good value, just like the bottom round roast, because it comes from the rump and hind legs, which are more muscular. The lower fat content makes it less tender, so it’s perfect for cooking slowly. What to Look For At the StoreMy local butcher calls it sirloin tip roast, but you might also see this cut labeled as:
But remember, if you ever have a question or an issue, ask your butcher! Most are incredibly knowledgable and happy to help. How to Cook Beef Sirloin Tip RoastThe best way to cook this lean cut is oven roasting or braising. I typically oven roast because it involves less hands on time, but still produces a very flavorful main. Since the sirloin tip roast is roasted at such a low temperature (250 degrees F), it’s best to sear the meat prior to roasting. Searing the meat caramelizes the surface of the roast, providing flavor and a golden crust. Essential Tips For Perfect Slow Roast BeefBefore CookingLeave your raw, uncooked roast out on the counter for at least an hour (or two) to warm to room temperature. This will aid in producing juicier, more evenly cooked meat. When it comes to cooking or searing really thin slices of meat, like these Flanken Ribs, it doesn’t make a lot of difference if the center is cold. For thicker cuts of meat though, like pork or beef roasts, whole chickens, etc., allowing the meat temper to room temperature will transform it. During CookingUse a digital meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your roast. I really can’t stress the importance of this enough, a thermometer ensures you aren’t overcooking (or undercooking!) the roast. You can pull it out of the oven at just the right temperature. After CookingHow you treat this sirloin tip roast after it is cooked is almost as important as how it’s cooked. You must let it rest before slicing, and then you have to slice it properly, against the grain, for optimal tenderness. As it cooks, the meat juices are pushed toward the center of the beef round roast. When you allow it to stand at room temperature, the juices re-distribute throughout the meat and are reabsorbed. If you slice into the meat and a pool of juice develops, then it hasn’t rested enough, and the meat might be a bit tough and dry. For a good rest, remove the beef sirloin tip roast to a warm plate and tent it with foil. You want to keep it warm, but you also want the foil to be loose so the meat doesn’t “sweat” and lose those valuable juices. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. SlicingWhen you slice the roast beef, make sure you do so against the grain. What in the world does that mean? Well, visually, when you look at your roast, you should be able to see lines of muscle fiber running in one direction. These muscle fibers are strong, so you want to slice across them, at an an angle, vs. slicing parallel, or in the same direction as these lines. Cutting through these muscle fibers shortens them, making the meat more tender when you chew it. Such a simple concept, but it really does make all the difference when you eat it.
