Sirloin? Yes Please!

Sirloin, a word that excites the tastebuds. When I hear it, I think of delicious steaks or a mouthwatering burger. What's that you say, a sirloin roast? Yes my friends, I did say sirloin roast and yes it is as wonderful as it sounds! While there is the ever popular top sirloin roast, I chose the less expensive sirloin tip roast(just as much flavor).

There are many things I love about sirloin. Even the name sounds humorous, however I will refrain from meat jokes for your sake. The price is always right and I also love that it cooks fairly fast, in the time it takes me to prepare 2 or 3 side dishes, the roast is ready. The flavor is always wonderful and does not need a lot of extra seasonings.

I will generally stick with a rub of salt, pepper and garlic powder, very simple but delicious. While not as tender as it's neighbor top sirloin it can still be cut with a butter knife when cooked properly. I sear all sides in a cast iron pan and then it goes into the oven. I roast it dry for about 30 minutes and then add water to the pan and cook another hour. The jus from this meat is so rich and flavorful I could drink it for dinner!

Such a beautiful color, I may paint my apartment the same color(I won't). On a serious note I love how it turned out, the meat was cooked to a perfect rare. There was a slight bark on the outside which gave it a nice bit of crispiness. And the flavor you ask, full of sirloiny goodness! Did I just make up a word, maybe, but it is that easy and that delicious. So when someone says sirloin, I say yes please!
