The Best Sirloin Tip Roast - 100KRecipes (1)

The secret to making a great roast is not only choosing the perfect cut and having a great rub recipe but also cooking it slowly. Especially an inexpensive cut like this one.

Spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, onion powder, and minced garlic mixed with olive oil not only give the roast great flavor but also give it great color. It is as pleasing to the eye as it is tasty.

      It’s always good to have a meat thermometer. That way you know exactly when to pull it out according to your liking.

      Lower temperature to 400 and use a meat thermometer to check desired doneness. Take it out when temperature is met and rest for 15 min. I use a meater thermometer. Works great but a bit pricey. Just keep checking temperature.

    Can I sear it in an iron skillet first, then based it with the seasoning, then put it in the oven?

    What do you mean slow cooking makes it tender but 450 degrees for 1 hour? Won’t that make it tough? Not sure,I don’t cook roasts often….

      One hour is a lot of time for me. Usually, when I cook meat, I give it a quick sear on the stovetop and then finish it in the oven. But you may be right. One hour doesn’t seem like a lot of time. Check it for doneness with a meat thermometer just to be sure.

        I have a 10 lb Sirloin roast. I will put a thermometer in it, but was wondering how long I should cook it. 450° seems pretty hot and might make the outside burnt? Before the inside gets done?

          You can cover it with foil for the first half hour and then remove the foil. This way you start the cooking process without it browning too much.
