Grass-Fed & Finished Sirloin Tip Roast
You're probably thinking: "the word sirloin gets thrown around a lot, is it all the same thing?" Short answer, no. We'll go into it just a little bit. Not to be confused with the top sirloin, the sirloin tip roast is cut from the largest muscle of the sirloin, which stems off the short loin. The top sirloin, however, is cut from the top of this large group of muscles. While these two pieces are adjacent to each other, the sirloin tip is less tender since it comes from the hindquarter, which is used for movement. Did we lose you? In conclusion, this 100% grass fed, grass finished sirloin tip roast is more tender than other round roasts but less tender than the top sirloin. And of course, like all beef from Gemstone Grass Fed Beef, the cattle is free to roam on open pasture. Gemstone Grass Fed Beef is a 4th generation farm located about 150km east of Calgary in Gem, Alberta. Owned and operated by the Doerksen family since 1932, they use principles of regenerative farming to improve the health of their cattle, their land, and the families who choose their unbeatable grass fed beef products.
COOKING TIP: Like all lean roasts, you'll want to let it cook for some time to avoid eating tough meat. You'll get lots of flavour and juicy bites if you opt for a dry herb rub and roast it slowly in the oven at a low temperature. Don't forget to let it rest for 15 minutes before craving. Creamed spinach is the perfect pairing, but sautéed spinach will also do the trick.
