Roasting a 3 lb Sirloin Tip Roast to Medium Rare

Roasting a 3 lb sirloin tip roast to medium rare perfection can seem like a daunting task, but with the right techniques, it can be a delicious and rewarding experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve a mouthwatering medium rare sirloin tip roast.

Ingredients:

• 3 lb sirloin tip roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Garlic powder
• Thyme
• Rosemary

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. Remove the sirloin tip roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
3. Pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
4. Brush the roast with olive oil and season it generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary.
5. Place the seasoned roast on a roasting pan with a rack, fat side up.
6. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure it doesn't touch the bone if there is one.
7. Roast the sirloin tip for 15 minutes at 425°F to sear the outside.
8. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue roasting until the thermometer reads 135°F for medium rare, about 15-20 minutes per pound.
9. Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it with foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes. The internal temperature will continue to rise to about 145°F while resting.
10. After resting, carve the roast against the grain into thin slices and serve.

Tips for Success:

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.
• Letting the roast rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful roast.
• For added flavor, you can create a simple pan sauce using the drippings from the roast.

Following these steps will help you achieve a perfectly roasted 3 lb sirloin tip roast cooked to medium rare, making for a memorable and delicious meal for you and your loved ones. Enjoy!
