A sirloin tip roast is marinated in dry red wine before it is rubbed with seasonings and then roasted to perfection. It's a basic roast beef recipe, and it is an excellent choice to serve with mashed potatoes.

This oven roast is made with a little red wine and a variety of dried herbs and seasonings.

If you like gravy with your roast beef, see the easy optional gravy below the recipe instructions.

Ingredients

  • 1 sirloin tip roast, about 3 pounds

  • 1/2 cup dry red wine

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
