This sirloin tip roast recipe is a family favorite for super tender beef! Budget friendly and uses only simple ingredients. The secret is in how it's roasted! For slow cooker instructions, scroll up above this recipe card. I've also included instructions above the recipe card on how to use the drippings to make an au jus.
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and pull the beef roast out of the fridge to allow it to rest at room temperature and take some chill off.
Trim the fat side of the beef to no more than 1/4'' thickness of fat.
In a small bowl combine the spices.
Rub the seasoning all over the roast.
Heat an oven proof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt.
Add the seasoned beef to the hot melted butter. Sear the beef on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until it starts to turn a nice, golden brown. The meat should be sizzling and have a natural release from the skillet. If it's sticking to the skillet, it's not developed a proper crust yet. Turn the heat up a bit and give it another minute, then try again!
Transfer to an oven-safe roasting pan, pouring any leftover butter from the skillet over the top of the roast. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Turn the oven off and leave the roast in the oven for an additional 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the roast from the oven and let rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, tented with aluminum foil.
Transfer to a cutting board.
Slice and serve!
Notes
The size of your roast matters! If you have a larger, 5 pound top sirloin roast, you will need a longer cooking time. Try adding 20-30 minutes to the initial cook times. Then, follow steps 7 and 8 as written. You can pre-season the roast to save time. Rub with the spice rub, then wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to cook. If you'd like to make au jus from the drippings, I have instructions for that right above this recipe card.
