How Are The New York Strip And The Sirloin Different?

Some key distinctions between New York strip and sirloin are as follows:

• The prime rib cut is where the New York strip is sourced from, whereas the sirloin is a round cut.
• It’s true that sirloin is a rather skinny cut of beef, but the New York strip is much more so.
• Finally, sirloin is a more budget-friendly and affordable beef option than the New York strip.

Barefoot Contessa Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe Ingredients

• Sirloin Tip Roast. This section is taken from the functional muscles of the back and thighs. That’s why it’s not as soft as other cuts of beef and is so lean. To save money, try this dish for a great alternative to more costly cuts of beef. Beef sirloin tip roast goes by a variety of names, including round tip roast, ball tip roast, and crescent roast. If you are doubtful, you should consult your butcher.
• Yellow Onions. Because of how well it holds up when roasted, this onion variety is ideal for this dish. Although their flavor is more intense than that of milder onions, yellow onions become sweet and fragrant when roasted. They get delightfully caramelized and absorb the beef roast’s taste when placed on the bottom of the saucepan under the roast.
• Homemade Seasoning Rub. This easy rub consists of only kosher salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, and garlic powder, and it works wonders on this roast.
• Gravy. To make the beef gravy, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder or onion flakes, and cornstarch.

How To Make Barefoot Contessa Sirloin Tip Roast

• Heat the oven to 450°F.
• On the bottom of the roasting pan, arrange entire onion slices. Place aside.
• Pat the roast totally dry using paper towels. Rub the oil all over the roast with your hands.
• Combine salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season the roast with the spice rub.
• On top of the onions, place the roast. Make sure the roast thoroughly covers the onions. Remove any onions that are not completely coated.
• Reduce the temperature to 300°F and roast for 15 minutes in the oven. Continue roasting for 60 to 75 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 180°F. In the thickest portion of the roast, insert a thermometer and read 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium. (When at rest, the internal temperature rises by 5°.)
• Wrap the roast with foil. Allow standing for 20 minutes. Remove the onions. If desired, save the pan juices for preparing gravy.
• Place the roast on a carving board. Across the grain, slice thinly. Serve.

Optional Beef Gravy

• Remove pan drippings. Add enough beef broth to equal 4 cups of drippings. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water.
• Heat the broth mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil. Add the Worcestershire sauce and onion flakes and mix well.
• In a small bowl, combine cold water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.

How To Serve Sirloin Tip Roast?

Potatoes are an excellent option for a side dish, particularly when paired with a sirloin tip roast for a more traditional Sunday night supper. These creamy mashed potatoes are yet another fantastic alternative to consider serving alongside your roast.

You can never go wrong with serving your Sirloin Tip Roast with some sautéed green veggies on the side, such as these Sautéed Green Beans with Brown Butter and Almonds or this Easy Sautéed Broccoli. Both of these dishes include green vegetables.

Recipe Tips & Variations

• Using paper towels, pat the roast until it is dry. It won’t be possible to get a great browning on your sirloin roast until all of the moisture has been removed.
• When it comes to achieving flawless results with this dish, having a meat thermometer that provides rapid readings is of the utmost importance. If you like, you may also use a food thermometer that is safe to use in the oven and has a probe.
• When making the rub for the seasoning, leave out the garlic powder and instead use salt, pepper, rosemary, dried oregano leaves, dried thyme leaves, and one and a half teaspoons of powdered mustard in addition to the other seasonings.
• For the seasoning, rub in some garlic powder and bring the total amount to 2 teaspoons. Next, add 1 teaspoon of dehydrated lemon peel and 2 tablespoons of dried parsley to the mix.

How To Store Sirloin Tip Roast?

• In The Fridge. The leftover sirloin tip roast can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days if it is placed in a container that can prevent air from getting in.
• In The Freezer. A beef roast that has been cooked and stored in an airtight container may be kept frozen for up to three months. Both beef gravy and beef broth may be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days when placed in an airtight container, and they can be frozen for up to three months.
• To Reheat. After preheating the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius), gently wrap the sirloin tip roast in aluminum foil and add a few tablespoons of any residual stock or juice before closing the package. Bring the beef up to an internal temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit by heating it.
