Roast Sirloin

1. 1

   Place a heavy skillet, large enough to hold the roast, in the oven.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the meat liberally on all sides with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Place in the hot pan, with top (fatty) side down.

5. 5

   Ten minutes later, turn and roast with the fatty side up.

6. 6

   After 10 more minutes, turn and roast for 5 minutes on each side.

7. 7

   The total cooking time is 30 minutes for meat to brown nicely all over.

8. 8

   Test with a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat, about 1 inch from one of the ends.

9. 9

   When it registers 120 degrees, meat will be rare to medium-rare.

10. 10

    Cook longer if you like, but beware that from this point on it will increase a stage of doneness every 3 to 5 minutes.

11. 11

    Let roast rest 5 to 10 minutes, then carve and serve with its juices, or with a simple pan sauce (see article).
