Ingredients
This is meant to be a brief overview of the petite beef sirloin roast recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below.
- Top Sirloin Petite Roast: This boneless roast is cut from the top sirloin. If you don't see it in your grocery store, ask the butcher to cut it for you.
- Parsley: Fresh parsley adds flavor and color. You could also use rosemary or thyme instead.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves, finely minced.
- Olive Oil: Any mild oil works in this recipe.
- Salt and Pepper: I like to use freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt, which help enhance the rest of the ingredients.
Optional: Worcestershire sauce adds an umami flavor that is perfect with beef.
Our Cowboy Butter is a delicious combination of garlic, parsley, and lemon zest with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this top sirloin roast recipe.
Plan on cooking your roast for about 25-30 minutes per pound for medium (145°F).
Remember, all ovens cook differently, so use this as a guide. I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to cook at your desired temperature.
According to the USDA, it is important to cook beef to a minimum temperature of 145°F. Allow the beef to rest for at least 5 minutes. This is considered "medium."
The juices will redistribute throughout the roast during this time and helps keep it juicy and tender.
Cover the beef loosely with aluminum foil, which is sometimes referred to as making a tent.
Serving Suggestions
For Sunday supper, I love to serve this roast with White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes or Make Ahead Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar and some sort of green vegetable like Garlic Green Beans or Roasted Parmesan Broccoli.
For a truly decadent meal, serve your top sirloin roast with Cowboy Butter Dipping Sauce.
It is the perfect compliment to this tender sirloin roast.
Alternatively, add a pat of Ruth's Chris Steak Butter to the sliced beef for extra richness and flavor.
More Side Dish Ideas
Here are some other side dish recipe ideas you'll love:
Storage
To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Reheat: Wrap individual portions of beef in aluminum foil and place into a 350F oven for 3-5 minutes until heated throughout.
While it can be microwaved, this sometimes dries out the roast. You can also reheat it in a skillet on low with a little bit of beef broth.

This was really simple to make and was quite flavorful. I used fresh parsley from my garden and extra garlic. It was so good! We made sandwiches with the leftovers today and will put the remainder of the leftovers on a salad for tomorrow's dinner.
