Method
Roasted Sirloin of Beef
- 1
Bring roast to room temperature
Remove the sirloin from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before roasting so it comes to room temperature for even cooking.

Roast
Transfer the roast to a roasting pan bone-side down. Roast at 475°F (245°C) for 15 minutes to develop a crust, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Roast until internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare (about 12–15 minutes per pound after the initial high-heat period) — for a 4 lb roast expect roughly additional 50–60 minutes. Use a probe thermometer for accuracy.

Bone Marrow Gravy
- 6
Roast marrow bones
While the roast rests (or during last 30 minutes of roasting), place marrow bones on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until marrow is very soft and beginning to brown. Remove marrow from bones with a small spoon and set aside, reserving bones for extra flavor if desired.

Make roux base
Stir in the flour and cook 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly until it forms a paste and begins to color slightly.

Simmer with stock
Add the beef stock, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and roasted marrow (stirring to dissolve marrow into the sauce). Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.
- 11
Strain and finish
Remove thyme and bay leaf. Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing solids to extract flavor. Return to low heat, whisk in any reserved pan juices, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and keep warm until serving.
Mushrooms & Red Wine Shallots
- 12
Cook shallots
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the thinly sliced shallots and a pinch of salt; cook gently until softened and starting to caramelize, about 6–8 minutes.
- 13
Add mushrooms
Increase heat to medium-high, add remaining tablespoon butter and the sliced mushrooms. Spread in a single layer and let them brown without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir. Cook until mushrooms are deep golden and any liquid has evaporated, about 6–8 minutes more.
- 14
Yorkshire Puddings
- 15
- 16
Preheat tin
Place a 12-cup muffin tin in the oven and add about 1 teaspoon of oil or beef drippings to each cup. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) until the oil is smoking hot, about 10 minutes.
- 17
Bake
Carefully remove the hot tin, quickly pour batter into each cup (about 3/4 full), and return immediately to the oven. Bake 18–22 minutes without opening the door until the puddings are well risen, golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
Homemade Horseradish Sauce
- 18
Combine
In a small bowl combine drained prepared horseradish, sour cream, creme fraiche (or mayonnaise), lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- 19
Adjust & chill
Taste and adjust heat with more horseradish or lemon as desired. Stir in chopped chives if using. Chill at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.
Finishing & Serving
- 20
Carve and plate
Slice the rested sirloin against the grain into thick slices. Arrange on a platter.

Sauce and garnish
Spoon warm bone marrow gravy over the sliced beef or serve on the side. Spoon mushrooms and red wine shallots alongside. Place Yorkshire puddings and a bowl of horseradish sauce on the table. Sprinkle sea salt flakes and chopped parsley over the beef for final garnish.
