INGREDIENTS

• For the roast:
• 2.5 lb sirloin tip roast
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 3 larges cloves of garlic (minced)

For the Warm Sherry Vinaigrette :

• 1 medium shallot, minced
• 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and Pepper
• 9 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. The day prior –  With the tip of your fingers, evenly rub the outside of the roast with a teaspoon of salt. Once salted, tightly wrap the roast in plastic wrap, and allow to rest in the fridge overnight.
2. The next day – Take the roast out at least an hour before cooking, allowing it come up to near room temperature ( very important step – this will ensure an even cooking of the roast).  
3. Once the roast has come to room temperature, unwrap from the plastic wrap and gently pat dry with a paper towel.
4. Preheat your oven to 250F.
5. While oven is preheating – Over medium-hight heat on your stove, heat up the olive oil and minced garlic in a large pan (heavy bottomed, cast-iron style).
6. As soon as the olive oil is heated (it should start to smoke a bit), place the roast in the pan and sear it on each side for 3 minutes, in order to get a golden brown colour all over.
7. Once the roast is seared on all sides, transfer to a baking tray with a rack. Make sure you scrape off the bits of cooked garlic from the pan and sprinkle them on the roast.
8. Cook the roast for about  1 hour and 20 minutes (if you have a meat thermometer: until the roast is 120F for medium-rare, or 130F for medium).
9. After this cooking time, (or once the roast has reached this temperature), turn off the oven and let the roast rest inside the oven, for 30-40 minutes (if you have a meat thermometer: until the roast is around 130F for medium-rare or 140F for medium).
10. Important: do not open the oven door at this time, as you want to keep all the heat inside to let the roast continue cooking (it will be tempting to take a peak, but don’t!).
11. Remove the roast from the oven, and allow to rest 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Allowing this resting time is very important, to allow the meat to re-distribute all the inner juices evenly.  
12. For serving, top each slice with a generous dollop of warm sherry vinaigrette and a sprinkle of horseradish.

For the warm sherry vinaigrette :

• In a small saucepan, over low heat, whisk together the shallot, the sherry vinegar, lemon juice, the Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook slowly for about 5 minutes, until the shallot is translucent (to kill its sharpness).
• Add the oil in a stream, whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified.
• Just before serving, make sure the vinaigrette is moderatly heated up (warm, but not hot).
