Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread Dijon mustard over the top and sides of the tip sirloin roast.
- Sprinkle dried thyme leaves over the mustard-coated roast.
- Place the roast on a rack in a baking pan.
- Cover the roast tightly with bacon slices, wrapping them around the meat.
- Bake at 325°F until a meat thermometer registers 160°F, approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

- Add onions 40 minutes before the roast is expected to be ready.
- Garnish with cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the tip sirloin roast in Dijon mustard and thyme overnight. If bacon isn't available, pancetta can be a great substitute for wrapping the roast. Ensure your oven is preheated for even cooking, and use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. For a variation, add other herbs like rosemary or sage to complement the thyme.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Duggins Beef Roast with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a hearty meal. A fresh Maurice Salad can add a nice contrast to the richness of the roast. Pair with a full-bodied red wine to enhance the flavors, and consider garnishing with cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges for a pop of color.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while tip sirloin is recommended for its tenderness, other cuts like ribeye or tenderloin can work well too. Just adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the cut to ensure it reaches the desired doneness.
What can I serve with Duggins Beef Roast?
This roast pairs beautifully with side dishes like roasted potatoes, steamed green beans, or a fresh salad. For a more filling option, consider serving it alongside creamy risotto or a hearty pasta dish.
How do I know when the roast is done cooking?
The best way to check for doneness is to use a meat thermometer. For medium doneness, the internal temperature should reach 160°F. Additionally, you can test it with a fork; the meat should be tender and easy to pull apart.
