Once you try this easy, savory, herb-crusted beef sirloin tip roast recipe, you’ll want to make it again and again! Unlike many other holiday cuts I admittedly love so much (I’m looking at you, boneless leg of lamb, roasted beef tenderloin, and filet mignon!), this one is budget friendly — but still packed with flavor.

How To Cook A Sirloin Tip Roast
This section shows step-by-step photos together with the instructions, to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Tie the roast. After refrigerating unwrapped overnight (optional – see tips below for details), tie the roast together at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
- Mix the spices. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
- Season. Cover the roast with olive oil, then rub the seasoning mixture into the meat on all sides. Rest to come to room temperature, then preheat the oven.
- Sear. Heat more oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the sirloin tip roast on all four sides, until browned.
- Roast. Transfer the meat to a roasting pan with a wire rack and bake to your desired doneness. (See my handy chart for roasting times and temperatures below!)
- Rest. Take the roast out of the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and tent loosely with foil. Rest before slicing.
- Serve. Slice the meat against the grain to serve. If you like, you can serve the roast with juices (au jus) from the bottom of the roasting pan.
I recommend using a probe thermometer (it will beep when the right temperature is reached) for a perfect sirloin tip roast every time. In case you don’t have one, I made this handy time chart for you. (If you do have one, just go by the target internal temperature!)
| Desired Doneness | Searing Time (Cast Iron) | Roasting Time Per Lb (At 300°F) | Roasting Time For 3 Lb Roast (At 300°F) | Target Internal Temperature Before Resting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare | 3 minutes per side, on all 4 sides | 10-13 minutes | 30-40 minutes | 115°F |
| Medium Rare | 3 minutes per side, on all 4 sides | 13-17 minutes | 40-50 minutes | 125°F |
| Medium | 3 minutes per side, on all 4 sides | 17-20 minutes | 50-60 minutes | 135°F |
| Medium Well | 3 minutes per side, on all 4 sides | 20-23 minutes | 60-70 minutes | 145°F |
Note: The guidelines above are the temperature that the roast should be when you take it out of the oven, before resting. The internal temperature will rise an additional 10 degrees F while resting.
