Ingredients
For the Roast
- 3 pounds sirloin tip roast Choose a well-marbled cut for better flavor.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin for best flavor.
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt Adjust to taste.
- 1 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground for optimal flavor.
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder For a robust flavor.
- 1 tablespoon onion powder Adds depth to the seasoning.

- 1 medium onion Quartered for roasting.
- 2 carrots carrots Cut into large chunks.

Method
Prepare the Roast
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This low temperature will help the roast cook evenly and remain tender.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. This will be your seasoning blend.
- Pat the sirloin tip roast dry with paper towels. This step is crucial as it helps the seasoning adhere better and promotes browning.
- Rub the olive oil all over the roast, then generously apply the seasoning blend, ensuring it covers all sides evenly.
Roast the Meat
- Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan. Surround it with the quartered onion, carrot chunks, and celery. These vegetables will add flavor to the broth and serve as a delicious side.
- Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan. This will keep the roast moist and create a flavorful base for gravy.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, ensuring it does not touch any bones.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
Rest and Serve
- Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy roast.
- Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices. This will help ensure tenderness in each bite.
- Serve with the roasted vegetables and any pan juices or gravy you may have prepared.

Notes
For best results, allow the roast to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.
