Ingredients You’ll Need

2 pounds beef sirloin: This cut is juicy and tender, perfect for roasting. Look for one with some marbling for added flavor. If needed, a top round roast can work in a pinch.
1 pound baby potatoes: Their creamy texture pairs wonderfully with the beef. Feel free to substitute with Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes for a change.
4 cloves garlic, minced: Fresh garlic adds aromatic goodness. Adjust the quantity based on your love for garlic—more is never a bad idea!
2 tablespoons olive oil: This oil helps to enhance flavors while ensuring the meat stays succulent. Avocado oil is also a great substitute.
1 teaspoon salt: A must for enhancing the flavors in your dish. Pink Himalayan or sea salt can add a unique touch.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper: Freshly cracked black pepper provides an essential aroma and subtle heat; consider using white pepper for a milder flavor.
1 teaspoon dried thyme: This herb pairs well with beef, adding an earthy, floral note. If you have fresh thyme, that works beautifully too! Just use about three times as much.
1 teaspoon rosemary: Like thyme, rosemary offers a robust flavor that complements the beef. Again, fresh is ideal; use the same conversion as with thyme.

How to Make Roast Sirloin with Potato Bake

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is essential for achieving that perfect roast texture.

Prepare the seasoning blend: In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon of rosemary. The combination of these ingredients is fragrant and will coat the beef beautifully.

Rub the mixture onto the beef: Take your 2-pound beef sirloin and rub the garlic and herb mixture all over it, ensuring it’s evenly coated. This is where the flavors really start to develop, so take your time!

Arrange the potatoes: In a large roasting pan, place your seasoned beef. Surround it with 1 pound of baby potatoes, ideally cut in half for better cooking. They’ll soak up those delicious juices as the sirloin cooks.

Roast in the oven: Transfer the roasting pan to your preheated oven. Roast for about 1 hour, or until your meat thermometer reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. If you prefer your beef cooked more, aim for 145°F (63°C).

Rest the meat: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and allow your beef to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This rest period is crucial; it lets the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender.

Serve it up: Plate the sliced roast sirloin alongside the roasted garlic potatoes, and you’ve got a dish that’s sure to impress!

Storing & Reheating

To store your leftovers, let the roast sirloin and potatoes cool down to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container. They can remain at room temperature for about 2 hours but should be refrigerated afterward for up to 3 days. For longer preservation, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When reheating, gently warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until warmed through. Keep in mind the texture might change slightly upon freezing and reheating, but a quick splash of broth or water can help revive it!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Make sure your beef is at room temperature before starting to roast, as this helps in even cooking.
If you hear a sizzling sound when placing the meat in the roasting pan, that’s perfect! It helps to create that enticing crust.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; it’s the best way to ensure your roast is just right.
Feel free to mix up the herbs based on what’s available to you. Fresh herbs can shine here too!
For extra flavor, consider adding sliced onions or carrots to the potatoes in the roasting pan. They’ll caramelize beautifully.
If you have leftover garlic potatoes, they can be great in salads or mixed with eggs for breakfast!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different cut of beef?

Absolutely! While beef sirloin is ideal for roasting, you can also use cuts like ribeye or tenderloin for even greater tenderness, or a chuck roast for a more budget-friendly option. Just be mindful of cooking times, as different cuts may require longer or shorter cooking.

How can I ensure my beef is tender?

Allowing the meat to rest is critical for keeping it tender by redistributing the juices. Also, avoid cutting into the meat too early, which can result in losing those flavorful juices. A good meat thermometer is your best ally to gauge doneness without risking a dry roast.

What sides pair well with roast sirloin?

Roast Sirloin with Potato Bake stands beautifully on its own, but you may serve it with options like a fresh garden salad, steamed green beans, or even roasted vegetables for an extra color pop on your plate.

How do I know when the potatoes are done?

The baby potatoes should be tender and golden around the edges. You can check their doneness by piercing them with a fork; it should slide through easily. You can even sneak a taste to ensure they’re soft but still have their shape.
