- 4 cloves garlic, minced: Fresh garlic is best here for that bold flavor. You can adjust the quantity based on your garlic love!
- 2 tablespoons olive oil: This helps crisp the potatoes and enhance the flavor profile. Feel free to use avocado oil as a substitute.
- 1 teaspoon salt: Essential for bringing out the natural flavors of the beef and potatoes. Use kosher salt for the best results.
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper: Freshly cracked black pepper adds warmth and depth.

- 1 teaspoon rosemary: This aromatic herb enhances the dish’s overall flavor, imparting a lovely woodsy scent.
How to Make Roast Sirloin with Potato Bake
Preheat: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven ensures that your beef gets that perfect sear and color, while your potatoes roast beautifully.
Prepare the Rub: In a medium bowl, mix together the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon of rosemary. This herby garlic mixture will flavor the beef and the potatoes wonderfully.
Massage: Rub the garlic and herb mixture all over your 2 pounds of beef sirloin, making sure to cover every inch. This step not only enhances flavor but also helps to create a delicious crust as it roasts.
Arrange: Place the seasoned beef in a large roasting pan. Surround it with 1 pound of baby potatoes, ensuring they’re evenly spaced. The potatoes will soak up the juices from the beef while they cook—the result is divine.
Roast: Pop the pan in the oven and roast for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer registers at 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. If you prefer a different doneness, adjust your time accordingly. While roasting, your kitchen will be filled with aromas that will have everyone at home eagerly awaiting dinner.
Rest: Once done, remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Allowing the beef to rest ensures that all those juices redistribute, making every bite tender and juicy.
Serve: Slice the roast beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve alongside the roasted garlic potatoes. Enjoy the rainbow of flavors and textures on your plate!
Storing & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for no more than 2 hours. For longer storage, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If you’d like to freeze your dish, it’s best to wrap the cooked beef tightly in plastic wrap and foil, where it will last for up to 3 months. When reheating, place the beef in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through. Note that flavor might mellow slightly, but you can refresh it with a splash of beef broth or gravy to keep it moist.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Don’t Rush the Resting: Always allow your beef to rest after roasting. This crucial step prevents juices from spilling out when you cut it, giving you a juicier slice.
- Adjust for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer! For juicy beef, aim for 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, and adjust depending on your preference.
- Prepping Ahead: You can prepare the herb-garlic rub a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Rub it on the beef before roasting for deeper flavor.
- Use Leftovers Wisely: If you have leftover beef, try it in sandwiches, salads, or even stir-fries. The flavor is versatile!
