Herb-Crusted Sirloin Tip Roast with Creamy Horseradish-Chive Sauce (6 Servings)
Total Recipe Time: 1-3⁄4 hours
- 1 beef round (sirloin tip) roast (2 to 2-1⁄2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- salt
Sauce:
- 1 cup dairy sour cream
- 1⁄2 cup prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground white pepper
Heat oven to 325°F. Combine parsley, thyme, oil, garlic and black pepper; press evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast.
Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 325°F oven 1-1⁄4 to 1-1⁄2 hours for medium rare doneness.
Meanwhile combine sauce ingredients in small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 140°F for medium rare. (Do not overcook.) Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F to reach 145°F for medium rare.) Carve roast into thin slices; season with salt, as desired. Serve with sauce.
