BEEF SIRLOIN TIP ROAST WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Allow the roast to come down to almost room temperature before starting which will take a few hours.
• Meanwhile sauté the fresh mushrooms in a skillet until all moisture is released; set aside (if using canned them omit this step).
• Set oven to 350°F.
• Loosely place a piece of heavy-duty foil in a shallow roasting pan (use a large enough piece to wrap the roast in).
• Rub the meat all over with oil, then season with garlic powder and ground black pepper (do not season with salt).
• Place the roast onto the the foil in the. pan.
• Pour 1-1/4 cups water into the bottom of the foil, then sprinkle dry soup mix over the water.
• Insert a meat thermometer into the middle of the roast.
• Wrap the foil around the roast (leaving the thermometer sticking out of the foil for easy reading, then seal the roast up tightly with foil.
• Cook until an meat thermometer reads 130°F for medium-rare.
• IMPORTANT; start checking the temperature of the thermometer at about 1-1/2 hours.
• Remove the roast to a serving platter then cover just loosely with foil.
• Place the pan drippings into a saucepan.
• In a small cup whisk together the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water.
• Gradually whisk into the saucepan then bring to a boil whisking for 2 minutes.
• Add in the sautéed mushrooms to the gravy.
• Serve with the sliced roast.
