Ingredients

• 3 lb. boneless beef top sirloin roast
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 Tbsp. black peppercorns, coarsely cracked
• 2 Tbsp. dried rosemary
• 1 pint fresh pearl onions, peeled
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 1/2 cup orange juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Rub sirloin with olive oil and crushed garlic. Mix pepper and rosemary together and press evenly onto all sides of steak.

Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so bulb is centered in thickest part. Do not add water or cover.

Roast approximately 50-60 minutes (or 16-20 minutes per pound) for medium-rare or medium doneness.

Approximately 20 minutes before roast is finished cooking, heat water, sugar and butter in a pan large enough to place the onions in a single layer so they are just touching.

Add onions and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until onions begin to caramelize. Gently toss to glaze all sides.

When onions are a deep brown, add orange juice and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 140°F for medium-rare, 155°F for medium. Let stand 10 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise to 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium.)

Carve roast into slices and serve with Pearl Onion Jam.

Suggestions

Serve with stuffed potato and steamed asparagus.
