Instructions

1

Prepare the herb rub

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a paste.

Pro tip: Use fresh herbs for the best flavour.

2

Rub the roast

Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the sirloin tip roast.

Pro tip: Ensure the roast is at room temperature for even cooking.

3

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

4

Sear the roast

Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to sear the outside.

Pro tip: This initial high heat helps to lock in juices.

5

Lower the temperature

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

6

Rest the roast

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.

Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
