Get Ready to Cook
First up, let’s take a look at that beautiful cut of meat. It’s all about starting with quality ingredients, so make sure you’re ready to impress.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 whole beef loin sirloin (about 5–7 pounds)
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- Fresh rosemary (a few sprigs)
- Fresh thyme (a few sprigs)
- 1 cup of beef broth
- Optional: hot sauce for that kick
The Cooking Process
Now that we’ve got our ingredients set, let’s get cookin’!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is where the magic happens!
- Season your beef loin generously with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy, get it all over.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, sear the beef loin on all sides until it’s beautifully browned. This step is crucial for locking in those delicious flavors.
- Add in the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme right into the skillet. Let them mingle and coat the meat for a minute.
- Once the beef is seared, place it in a roasting pan. Pour the beef broth around it to keep it moist as it cooks.
- Pop that bad boy in the oven and roast for about 1 hour or until you reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check – you’re looking for about 130°F for medium-rare.
- Let it rest on a cutting board after you take it out, wrapped loosely in foil for about 15 minutes. This rest period makes sure all those juices stay inside when you slice it up.
- Finally, slice it thinly against the grain, serve it up with your favorite sides, and don’t forget that hot sauce if you like a little kick!
This whole beef loin sirloin is sure to be a hit. Pair it with some mashed potatoes or roasted veggies, and you’ve got yourself a feast. Enjoy, and happy cooking!
