FAQs

What is a sirloin tip roast?

It’s a lean cut of beef from the hindquarter, known for its rich flavor and best when roasted and sliced thin.

How do I keep the roast from drying out?

Avoid overcooking and always let it rest before slicing to retain juices.

What internal temperature should I aim for?

For medium-rare, aim for 130–135°F (54–57°C). For medium, 135–145°F (57–63°C).

Should I sear the roast before baking?
