A flavorful Garlic Butter Herb Roast Beef recipe featuring a juicy top sirloin roast infused with a savory garlic, butter, and fresh herb compound, perfectly roasted with red onions for a tender, aromatic main dish ideal for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Roast

  • 6 lbs (3 kg) top sirloin
  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Fresh lemon slices, for garnish

Garlic Butter Herb Compound

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 sprig fresh sage
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 medium red onion, chopped

Roasting Aromatics

  • 2 medium red onions, quartered (excluding 1/2 onion used in compound butter)

Instructions

  1. Bring Roast to Room Temperature: Remove the sirloin roast from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This helps the meat cook more evenly throughout.
  2. Prepare Compound Butter: In a food processor, combine softened butter, minced garlic, fresh sage, fresh rosemary, chopped half red onion, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. This compound butter will infuse the roast with rich, aromatic flavors.
  3. Apply Compound Butter to Beef: Rub the garlic herb butter mixture all over the surface of the beef roast, ensuring an even coating. Place the roast in a roasting pan or cast iron skillet. Arrange the quartered red onions around the beef to roast alongside.
  4. Initial High-Heat Roast: Preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Roast the beef for 15 minutes at this high temperature to create a flavorful crust.
  5. Lower Oven Temperature and Continue Roasting: Reduce the oven temperature to 325ºF (160ºC). Continue roasting the beef until it reaches an internal temperature of 135ºF (60ºC) for medium-rare, which should take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the roast. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Rest the Meat: Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and tender result.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice the roast beef to your desired thickness and serve with the roasted red onions. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and lemon slices for added freshness and presentation. Enjoy your flavorful Garlic Butter Herb Roast Beef!

Notes

  • Bringing the meat to room temperature before cooking promotes more even roasting.
  • Using a meat thermometer is important for perfect doneness and food safety.
  • Resting the meat is crucial for juicy slices and prevents loss of flavorful juices.
  • You can substitute top sirloin with other roasts like ribeye or tenderloin if preferred.
  • Butter can be softened by leaving it at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwaving for a few seconds.
  • Leftover roast beef can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and used in sandwiches or salads.
