Tender and dripping with au jus, Beef Sirloin Tip Roast Recipe has intense flavor from a homemade dry rub! It's then roasted on a bed of caramelized onions for mouthwatering results that will be the highlight of your dinner table.
Remove roast and let it sit at room temperature for 45-60 minutes before cooking.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On the bottom of large Dutch oven or roasting pan spread onion slices. Set aside.
In a small bowl, add coffee, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Stir to combine.
Place roast on a large plate fat side down. Sprinkle with dry rub evenly, pressing it to stick to the meat while turning. Transfer roast fat side up into prepared dish and sprinkle with any remaining dry rub.
