What is Rolled Sirloin?

How to Cook Rolled Sirloin of Beef: Rolled sirloin of beef is often hailed as “The King” of roasting joints, and it’s easy to see why. Cut from the saddle of the carcass, situated between the rump and fore-rib, this classic joint is a staple for Sunday roasts and makes a show-stopping centrepiece for any occasion.

At Swaledale, we elevate this already impressive cut with authentic, old-fashioned dry-ageing, enhancing its tenderness and unlocking deep, rich flavours that shine when cooked to perfection. This rolled beef sirloin recipe is ideal for those seeking a premium dry-aged sirloin joint, perfect for creating a standout Sunday roast.

Swaledale takes this delicious, punchy joint to the next level with authentic, old-fashioned dry-ageing that delivers incredible tenderness and flavour when cooked.

Rolled Sirloin Cooking Time

To achieve even cooking, remove the beef from the fridge at least 1–2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This essential step ensures the meat cooks evenly and retains its juiciness.

For the most succulent and flavourful results, roast your rolled sirloin of beef at 160°C for the following times: 10–12 minutes per 500g for rare, 12–14 minutes per 500g for medium-rare, and 16–18 minutes per 500g for medium. These timings, combined with an initial high-heat sear at 220°C for 10 minutes, will help achieve a beautifully caramelised exterior.

Using a meat thermometer is essential for precision. Aim for an internal temperature of 49–51°C for rare, 53–54°C for medium-rare, and 57–59°C for medium. Allowing the beef to rest after roasting will ensure the meat remains tender and juicy. Keep in mind that the joint will continue to cook as it rests (this residual cooking effect is more significant for larger joints and less for smaller ones), so it’s best to remove the beef from the oven 3–4 degrees below your target temperature.

For those looking to elevate their roast, consider our low-temperature roasting technique, which requires a minimum of 3 hours and delivers unmatched tenderness and uniform cooking. Whether you opt for traditional or low-temperature roasting, rolled sirloin is a true showstopper, perfect for any occasion and guaranteed to impress.

The Best Way to Cook Rolled Sirloin

Traditional Roasting Technique

  1. Prepare the Joint: Remove the beef from its packaging, pat it dry, and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7.
  2. Season and Arrange: Rub a little oil over the joint and season generously with high-quality sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the joint fat-side up in a roasting tray, positioned on a trivet of coarsely chopped carrots, onions, celery, and beef bones.
  3. Initial High Heat: Roast in the centre of the oven for 15 minutes. This step helps to develop a rich crust.
  4. Lower the Temperature: Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C/Fan 140°C/Gas 3. Add a large glass of liquid to the roasting tray – red wine is ideal, but white wine or beef/chicken stock works well too.
  5. Continue Roasting: Roast for 12–14 minutes per 500g, turning the joint halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer for precision. Aim for 49–51°C for rare, 53–55°C for medium-rare, and 57–59°C for medium, bearing in mind the joint will rise by 3–4 degrees during resting.
  7. Rest the Beef: Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the joint from the tray and set it aside to rest. After 10 minutes, loosely cover it with foil to retain warmth. Rest for half the roasting time, or a minimum of 15–20 minutes, before carving.
  8. Make the Gravy: Pour 450ml of beef or chicken stock into the roasting tray. Bring to a simmer, reducing the liquid until thickened. Strain through a sieve to remove the bones and vegetables. For an extra-rich finish, stir in a cold knob of butter just before serving.
  9. Carve and Serve: Slice the rested beef into thick slices and serve with the warm, rich gravy.

Low-Temperature Roasting Technique

  1. Prepare the Beef: Take your rolled sirloin of beef out of the refrigerator before cooking. Remove it from the vacuum packaging, pat dry any moisture, and allow it to come to room temperature.
  2. Set the Oven: Set your oven to 65°C – this is a very low temperature, and if using a gas cooker, the pilot light may suffice. While this technique works best at 65°C, slightly higher temperatures can be used, though they may alter the timings. Using a meat thermometer is essential to ensure precision.
  3. Season and Roast: Rub the beef with a little oil and season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Depending on the size of the joint, roasting will take a minimum of 3 hours. Aim for an internal temperature of 49–51°C for rare, 53–55°C for medium-rare, or 57–59°C for medium. As you are roasting at a low temperature, the joint won’t continue to cook once removed from the oven, so there’s no need to account for residual cooking during resting.
  4. Rest the Beef: Once the beef has reached the desired internal temperature, rest it for at least 10–15 minutes, or up to one hour, loosely covered in foil. A shorter resting period isn’t an issue, as the meat hasn’t contracted in the same way it would during traditional high-temperature roasting.
  5. Caramelise the Crust: For the final stage, place the beef in an oven set to full blast until an even, caramelised colour is achieved – this will take 6–10 minutes. Due to the low-temperature roasting technique, further resting is unnecessary.
  6. Carve and Serve: Carve into slices approximately 1cm thick and serve immediately.

This method ensures perfectly cooked, tender beef with a beautifully caramelised crust, making it the perfect centrepiece for any special occasion.

Top Tips for Low-Temperature Roasting

  • Invest in a Meat Thermometer: Precision is key for this method. A meat thermometer ensures your joint reaches the perfect temperature for your desired doneness.
  • Allow the Beef to Warm Up: Bringing the beef to room temperature before cooking helps it roast evenly.
  • Boost Flavour with a Trivet: For even more flavour, place the joint on a trivet of chopped vegetables and beef bones. The resulting pan juices will elevate your gravy.
  • Final Blast for a Perfect Crust: Don’t rush the final caramelisation stage. Use a high oven temperature to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust without overcooking the beef.
  • Keep the Sauce Simple: A rich beef stock or simple red wine reduction pairs beautifully with this tender cut, letting the meat’s natural flavour shine.

  • Chef George Ryle @grylos, signing off the year with us. A delicious Christmas ham glaze. Nothing clever. Nothing rushed, but some useful tips. Thank you for watching, cooking along, and sticking with us this year. Merry Christmas.
  • We like doing things properly. Smoking is one of them. It is not sterile or shiny. But have you ever been to a smokehouse in Arbroath? If you have, you will know what this looks like. That black tar on the walls comes from years of smoke and years of meat. That is the point. We still smoke food properly. Many do not. Much of what you see labelled as smoked has barely seen smoke at all. For us, that matters. Food done properly matters. It will matter even more in the years ahead. So when you buy something from us and it says smoked, you know exactly what that means.
  • Much of the beef on tables and in kitchens at this time of year comes from Bill Whittaker’s herd of Belted Galloway cattle. They graze land in the shadow of Ingleborough, feeding on diverse forage shaped by limestone ground. It is land that suits the cattle, and cattle that suit the land. We usually receive Bill’s beef once a year, when it is ready. It is always a good moment when it arrives. Beef like this cannot be rushed. It follows the season. This is the way we like to work. Smaller farms, running the right cattle on the right ground, producing beef that fits the rhythm of the year. As we head into the new year, we are always keen to hear from other farmers working with native breeds, regenerative systems, and properly pasture-fed livestock. If that sounds like you, and you have something coming through, do get in touch.
  • Sometimes it takes a new perspective, a fresh angle, to see the value in things. To reverse a perception that might be long held and deeply ingrained. But when we achieve that moment of clarity, the bright light of revelation, the effect can be significant. A door opened and a new future imagined. Too much? Well, probably. But maybe, just maybe your eyes really are being opened to a new way. A future of menu writing with the possibility of a new ‘butchers’ steak’; move over bavette, onglet and Denver and step into the spotlight the chuck eye steak. Traditionally, a chuck, to butchers and chefs is most likely to conjure images of pies, stews and bourguignons. Your archetypal braising cut, or so it had been assumed. We don’t believe it should be confined by these parameters and are rather taken with the idea of it becoming your new favourite secondary steak. The chuck is the muscle that extends from the ribeye into the neck, like a pork collar, meaning it has good natural marbling and a nice, open texture. Cooked pink, with a great crust and basted in brown butter, it truly is an excellent steak. For maximum value, snaffle yourself a whole chuck, trim away some of the meat that runs around the eye, reserving for something braised and delicious, then cut yourself some choice steaks. You won’t regret it.
  • A rich, booze-laden beast of a pie. This is no ordinary mince pie. It is deep-filled, indulgent and made with real craft by @joshwhiteheadchef of @finer_pleasures. We are down to the last few. Our mailing list heard about them yesterday, which is why they are moving quickly. If you want first sight of future specials, sign up. Josh has been working on this recipe for three years. It is rooted in Hannah Glasse’s 1747 mince pie, where meat was once part of the mix. He has taken that idea and turned it on its head, using the clean, buttery fat from our native-breed cattle in place of suet. The filling is dried fruit soaked since July in Armagnac, aged port, Madeira and homemade ginger wine. There are ceps cooked slowly in brown sugar syrup until they turn to toffee. And yes, a little Bovril. Trust Josh, it works. Bake at 185°C until golden, let it sit for two minutes, then eat warm. A dusting of icing sugar finishes it well. Serve with cream, custard or brandy butter. A very special mince pie, and nearly gone.
