Ingredients  

• 3 to 4 pounds of sirloin tip roast
• 1 sliced large white onion 
• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp. ground coffee decaf or regular
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar 
• 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
• 2 tsp. onion powder
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1 lemon zest only

Instructions 

1. Remove the roast from your fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature for an hour before cooking it.
2. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. At the base of your roasting pan or Dutch oven, spread out your onion slices and set them aside. 
3. Inside a small bowl, add your coffee, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, and lemon zest, then stir to combine. 
4. Place roast onto a big plate fat side down and sprinkle your rub evenly, pressing on it to ensure it sticks onto your meat as you turn it. Next, transfer your roast into your prepared pan and sprinkle on any remaining dry rub. 
5. First, bake it uncovered for 30 minutes.
6. Reduce your heat to 325 degrees F, then cover it with a lid before covering it for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 10 degrees before it reaches your desired doneness. 
7. Remove your round tip roast from your oven and cover it while allowing it to rest for 20 minutes. When it’s ready, transfer it over to your cutting board and slice it against the grain using a sharp knife. 
8. Serve your tender beef sirloin tip roast with its onions and juices from the bottom of the pan, or you can pair it with instant pot mashed potatoes or a simple salad. 

Tips to Get the Best Results 

• Ovens can vary significantly, and some will bake hotter compared to others. Be sure to check your roast by the 30-minute mark to ensure it gets done according to your desire. 
• To avoid overcooking, check the cook times below and only roast your meat up until it reaches 10 degrees before your desired doneness. 
  • Rare is achieved between an internal temperature of 120°F to 125°F 
  • Medium rare is achieved between an internal temperature of 130°F to 135 °F
  • Medium is achieved between an internal temperature of 140°F to 145°F
  • Well done is achieved between an internal temperature of 150°F to 160°F

Doing this will help you avoid overcooking since the meat will continue to cook even when it’s out from your oven. Make sure to place a digital meat thermometer inside the thickest part of the roast to get an accurate reading of its temperature. Moreover, keep in mind that convection ovens cook faster. 

• Always cook using the middle rack of your oven no matter what kind you use to ensure that there’s even heat distribution over the pan. 

Recipe Variations

Luckily, this recipe can be easily changed to suit your tastes and to help you work with what’s available in your kitchen. 

• If you don’t have a Dutch oven, you can always use a roast pan with a lid. Some people also use roasting pans and cover them using aluminum foil, but this may take more time to cook.  
• For those looking to serve this up on a lazy Sunday, you can turn this recipe into a roast complete with carrots, potatoes, and onions where everything can caramelize and roast together. Simply cut up the vegetables into bigger chunks to make up for a longer cooking time. You can also use baby potatoes instead of sliced chunks. 
• You can also try using olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and other herbs as a substitute for the dry rub.
• The au jus can also be turned into gravy by adding red wine or beef stock, along with cornstarch and other kinds of seasonings to thicken the gravy. 
• Finally, save any leftover juices to make a French dipping sauce which you can then use as a dip. Create a delectable roast sandwich for the next day and serve it inside a nice bun then dunk it in your dip!  

Storing and Freezing Your Roast 

Keep your roast inside an airtight container for as long as 5 days then reheat your leftovers for the next day; you can even serve sliced beef roast for a holiday platter. You can also freeze your meat for a maximum of 3 months just place it inside an airtight container.
