How To Make Barefoot Contessa Sirloin Tip Roast
Step 1: Start by bringing the sirloin tip roast to room temperature so it cooks evenly. Pat it dry, then season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sear the roast until it’s browned and caramelized for extra flavor.
Step 2: Place the roast in a roasting pan with garlic, onion, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Add a splash of beef broth to keep everything moist while it cooks. Roast in the oven until it reaches your desired doneness, then let it rest before slicing so the juices stay locked i

Barefoot Contessa Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe Tips
- Let the roast sit at room temperature before cooking for even results
- Pat the meat dry so it browns properly in the pan
- Don’t skip searing—it locks in flavor and adds a rich crust
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking or undercooking
- Let the roast rest before slicing so juices don’t run out
- Slice against the grain for the most tender bites
- Add fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for deeper flavor
- Use beef broth in the pan to keep the roast moist while cooking
Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions
- Storing Instructions: Store leftover sirloin tip roast in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3–4 days while keeping its flavor and texture.
- Freezing Instructions: Wrap the cooled roast tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months for best quality.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat slices in the oven covered with foil at a low temperature to keep them tender and juicy. You can also warm them gently in a skillet with a splash of beef broth to prevent drying out.

Slow Cooker Instructions
Step 1: Season the sirloin tip roast generously with salt and black pepper, then sear it in a hot skillet for extra flavor. This step is optional, but it really boosts the taste.
Step 2: Place the roast in the slow cooker with garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until the meat is tender and easy to slice or shred. Let it rest briefly before serving for the best texture.
Ina Garten Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe Faqs
What is sirloin tip roast best used for? It’s great for roasting, slicing thin for dinner, or using leftovers in sandwiches and wraps. It’s a lean cut that works best when cooked low and slow or roasted properly.
Do I need to sear the roast first? You don’t have to, but searing adds a deeper, richer flavor and helps create a nice crust on the outside. It’s worth the extra step if you have time.
How do I keep sirloin tip roast from drying out? Don’t overcook it and always let it rest before slicing. Using broth or cooking it covered helps keep it moist and tender.
What temperature should sirloin tip roast be cooked to? For medium-rare, aim for about 130–135°F before resting. It will continue to cook slightly as it rests.

Followed directions exactly. Perfectly cooked, very tender beef tenderloin. Garlic_butter glaze was really good and was great on our mashed potatoes too. Generally only do flank steaks in the air fryer but this tenderloin may become my new favorite.
