How Long To Cook A Sirloin Tip Roast?
For a medium rare sirloin tip roast, sear on all 4 sides for about 3 minutes per side in a cast iron skillet, then roast in the oven for 13-15 minutes per pound (40-45 minutes total for a 3-pound roast). Final internal temperature should reach 135 degrees F. However, since the temperature will rise after removing from the oven, stop cooking at 10 degrees below your desired doneness (at 125 degrees). I recommend using a probe thermometer to be certain (it will beep when the right temperature is reached), but a regular meat thermometer also works. In case you don’t have one, the time chart below shows the approximate times and temperature for a this roast. Note: The guidelines above are the temperature that the roast should be when you take it out of the oven, before resting. The internal temperature will rise an additional 10 degrees while resting.
Storage Instructions
Store: Keep leftovers in a covered container in the fridge up to 4 days.Reheat: Slices are best reheated in 30 second stages in the microwave so they don’t dry out, or in a skillet with a little beef broth to rehydrate them. You can also reheat a whole unsliced sirloin tip roast in the oven, using the same method as reheating beef tenderloin.Freeze: Place slices between sheets of parchment paper in a zip lock bag and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
What To Serve With Beef Sirloin Tip Roast
Hearty roasts call for plenty of side dishes! Here are common pairings: It’s the little things that count when you want a perfectly roasted sirloin tip.
Dry the meat. Pat the roast dry with paper towels and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight if possible. This firms up and dries the outside of the roast, allowing it to get a better sear. It will still be juicy after you cook it! Tie tightly. Tying the roast with twine prevents it from spreading during cooking, which not only makes it look more appealing but also helps it cook more evenly. Test with a thermometer. Cook time can vary based on your oven, the shape of your roast, and even the pan you use. A probe thermometer is the best, easiest way to be certain of the right doneness (it will beep when the right temperature is reached), but a regular meat thermometer also works if you use the time chart above. Resting is a must. Like all cuts of beef, resting the sirloin tip oven roast after cooking allows the juices to redistribute inside the meat and keeps it tender. Don’t skip it! Cut correctly. Slicing against the grain breaks up the muscle fibers, so each bite is tender as can be.
Potatoes – Try this dish with classic roasted potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or air fryer jicama fries and mashed cauliflower (shown above!) for less starchy options.Easy Veggies – Serve beef with flavorful sides like sauteed mushrooms, air fryer broccoli, and bacon wrapped green bean bundles.Salads – Crisp and crunchy salads like French carrot, baby kale and avocado, or a simple spring mix salad pair well with a sirloin tip roast.
