Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Sirloin
- 1 (3-4 pound) sirloin roast
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Thyme Leaves
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 large onion, chopped
How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sirloin
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Score the top of the sirloin roast with a sharp knife, making shallow slits about 1 inch apart.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dried thyme generously over the mustard.
- Place the sirloin roast in a roasting pan. Wrap the roast tightly with 1 pound of bacon, overlapping slices as needed to fully cover the meat.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pan around the roast during the last 40 minutes of cooking.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest on a carving board for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender roast.
- Slice the roast and serve with the roasted onions, crispy bacon pieces, and your favorite gravy. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
