How to Bake Beef Sirloin Tip Steaks in Oven

Sirloin tip steaks never disappoint when you want a tender cut beef for a tender price. Beef sirloin is a richly flavored cut of meat located near the rib portion of the cow. While sirloin from this area is commonly used for larger roasts, it is sometimes cut into steaks and sold at much lower prices than porterhouse, filet mignon and New York strip steaks. Sirloin tips have enough tenderness for simple dry roasting, so you can forgo the long wait times of a braised roast without sacrificing flavor.

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit on a plate at room temperature while the oven heats.
  
• Pat the tip steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them with vegetable oil. Season the steaks to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add spices and fresh herbs to taste, if desired.
  
• Place the steaks in a shallow dish or roasting pan and set it on the middle oven rack. Roast the steaks for 10 minutes then turn them over.
  
• Roast the tip steaks an additional 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare, or until they reach an internal temperature of 130 F; roast the steaks for 15 to 20 more minutes for medium, or an internal temperature of 135 F.
  
• Take the steaks out of the pan and transfer them to a carving board or plate. Cover the steaks loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest about 5 minutes before serving.
