PERFECT HERBED SIRLOIN TIP ROAST

INGREDIENTS

1 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. ground chile powder
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
2 tsp. salt
1 2-3 lb sirloin tip roast, tied (1.1-1.4 kg)
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided

METHOD

Place the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 250°F. 

Combine all spices and seasonings together in a small bowl.

Rub the roast all over with a Tbsp. of oil before rubbing in the spice mixture.

Heat the remaining Evoo in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the roast and sear until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.

Transfer the roast to a wire rack set inside a roasting pan. 

Cook for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the meat reaches 115°F on a meat thermometer.

Turn the oven off, leaving the roast in the oven for another 40 minutes, or until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare or 140° for medium.

Remove the roast from the oven to a carving board, and cover loosely with aluminium foil and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. 

Slice the meat to desired thickness and serve.
