We’d like to begin with a shout-out to our friends at BLACKVIEW FARM. We needed to get this essential recipe for SIRLOIN TIP ROAST right. Therefore, we prepared it with a superior cut of meat purchased from BLACKVIEW. We suggest you do the same. Purchase responsibly raised, organic, grass-fed beef from your favourite and trusted butcher. Guaranteed, you will taste the difference.

BLACKVIEW FARM is a sprawling 100-acre farm near Listowel, Ontario, known for their superior beef, pork and heritage poultry. The owners, Bill Parks and his wife Michelle, are committed to providing responsibly raised livestock and poultry that are grass-fed. Interestingly, their livestock and poultry have a field day – literally – when they graze in a different grassy field each and every day.

Here are our tried and true tips on how to prepare a perfect SIRLOIN TIP ROAST:

ROOM TEMPERATURE

It’s very important to begin this recipe with a roast that has been brought to room temperature. We suggest taking your roast out of the fridge for about an hour and a half before you prepare it for roasting. This will ensure the roast will cook evenly.

SEASONING

Flavouring the roast by studding it with garlic and a rub of fresh herbs, salt and pepper adds such depth of flavour, every bite is a taste sensation. We used fresh thyme, rosemary and sage, but you can experiment with your favourite herbs to create the taste profile you like best.

ROAST TIME

The best way to achieve your desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer, we’ve listed a link to purchase below. As a general rule: rare is 125°F / 52°C, medium rare 130°F / 57°C, medium 145°F / 63°C, well done 160°F / 71°C.

Finally, as delicious as this roast is, there’s also something to be said about serving it with the perfect accompaniments. We suggest our GINGER LIME SPICED CARROTS and our light and fluffy MASHED SWEET POTATOES. One final suggestion – check out our 1 minute video on how to prepare YORKSHIRE PUDDING.
