What Is Sirloin Tip Roast?
Sirloin Tip Roast is a lean cut of beef that comes from the hindquarters of the cow. Because this muscle is constantly used, it’s a tougher cut of meat, which means it needs to be braised or roasted in the oven for it to be tender! However, its leanness means it’s a more budget-friendly cut of beef, so it’s perfect for larger families or get-togethers.

Ingredients You Need To Make This Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe
You only need a few basic pantry staples plus a sirloin tip roast for this recipe!
- Sirloin tip roast: I use a 3lb sirloin tip roast, which will feed around 8 people! Make sure you get a sirloin tip roast and not a sirloin roast because they aren’t the same thing.
- Olive oil: I coat the roast in olive oil to help the rub stick to it and get a nice crust on the outside. You could also use avocado oil if you like.
- Homemade spice rub: I use a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and dried oregano! Feel free to play around with the measurements to get your desired result.

Tip For Cooking Sirloin Tip Roast
Allowing beef to come to room temperature before cooking helps ensure it cooks more evenly. When meat is cold straight from the fridge, the outside can cook faster than the inside, leading to uneven doneness. The meat warms slightly by letting the beef rest at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes, allowing the center and the outer portions to cook at a similar rate. This helps you achieve a more consistent texture and desired level of doneness throughout the roast.
How To Make This Sirloin Tip Roast
This recipe couldn’t be easier! Follow these simple steps to make a Sirloin Tip Roast:
Mix Seasoning Blend
- Mix together the herbs and seasonings in a small bowl.
Coat
- Coat the roast with a little olive oil and then the spice mixture. Let it rest at room temperature.
Sear
- Sear the roast on all sides until browned. We are locking in the juicy flavor.
Roast
- Transfer the roast to a rack in a roasting pan and bake until it reaches your desired doneness. I have created a chart so you know just how long to cook a 3-pound roast for rare, medium, or well done.
Slice
- Slice the roast against the grain for serving. This will make your slices of beef even more tender.
Gina’s Tips For Recipe Sucess
- Cover the roast with foil until you’re ready to eat so the roast doesn’t get cold.
- After the roast is done cooking, let it rest for 15 minutes to lock in all the juices before slicing.
- Let the roast sit out at room temperature for one hour before cooking.
- Tie roast tightly using butcher’s twine.
- Always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer – I like ThermaPro.
- Slice against the grain of the meat; this will make it more tender.
Variation Ideas
- If you want to add some heat, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dry rub.
- If you can’t find a sirloin tip roast, you could use a rump roast.
Serving Suggestions
This sliced roast beef recipe is the perfect main dish to serve alongside air fryer baked potatoes, olive oil mashed potatoes, zucchini casserole, or Longhorn Steakhouse broccoli!
Do I have to brown the roast before roasting it in the oven?
Technically, no, but searing adds so much flavor and gives the roast a nice crust on the outside! Remember, you are locking in flavor and juicyness.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
According to the USDA, you can store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 4 months.
To reheat, place a few slices in a baking dish with a splash of beef broth. Wrap it in foil and place it at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes.
If you’re short on time, you can reheat leftovers in the microwave-save dish with a splash of beef broth to prevent the roast from drying out.
✝️ Biblical Reflections Table Talk
This Sliced Herb Crusted Beef Sirloin Tip Roast transforms from a simple piece of meat into a flavorful and tender dish through the process of searing and roasting. In a similar way, God transforms us through life’s challenges and experiences. Malachi 3:3 says, “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” Just as the roast is seared to lock in flavor, God allows us to go through refining moments in life to bring out our true character and potential. As you enjoy this meal, reflect on how God is shaping and refining you, and how you can use those experiences to serve others through your hospitality and faith.
