Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sirloin tip roast (about 3 lbs / 1.36 kg)
- 1.5 tbsps (22 ml) vegetable or canola oil
- 3 cups (710 ml) reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 onion, sliced into thick rings
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsps kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsps dried onion flakes
- ½ cup (120 ml) cold water
- ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch or Wondra flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C), positioning rack in center, and spread sliced onions evenly across roasting pan bottom.
- Meat Conditioning: Pat roast dry with paper towels, then massage with olive oil, ensuring complete surface coverage for optimal browning and seasoning adherence.
- Seasoning Blend: Combine kosher salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, and garlic powder, then thoroughly coat roast, pressing spices into meat to create a robust flavor crust.
- Initial Roasting: Place seasoned roast atop onion layer, immediately reduce oven temperature to 300°F (149°C), and roast for 75-90 minutes until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
- Resting Phase: Remove roast from oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and allow meat to rest for 20 minutes, enabling juice redistribution and enhanced tenderness.
- Serving: Slice roast against grain into thin pieces, utilizing caramelized onions and pan drippings for optional gravy preparation, presenting a succulent and flavorful main course.
Notes
- Moisture Matters: Thoroughly pat the roast dry with paper towels to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and help seasonings stick effectively.
- Temperature Precision: Use a meat thermometer to guarantee exact doneness, avoiding overcooking and maintaining optimal tenderness.
- Resting is Crucial: Allow the roast to rest for 20 minutes after cooking, which helps juices redistribute, ensuring each slice remains incredibly juicy and flavorful.
- Seasoning Strategy: Press seasonings gently into the meat’s surface to create a robust, deeply penetrating flavor crust that enhances the entire roasting experience.
