Lean beef trimmed with a festive fat-free sauce, my Sirloin Roast with Spicy-Sweet Pomegranate Reduction Recipe officially ushers in the family’s extra-long holiday weekend of feasting! Tonight I whipped up a delicious dinner thanks to the Chateau Loin sent as a most tasteful Christmas gift by the Texas Beef Council. The Chateau Loin is an exclusive center-cut Sirloin roast not sold at retail, but only to some of the finest restaurants in the world (lucky me). As an alternative, I suggest a Top Sirloin Roast or even a melt-in-your-mouth Tenderloin. More good news; a center-cut sirloin roast is packed with zinc, iron and b vitamins while also boasting less than 6 grams of fat per 3-ounce serving (which falls right in the middle of fat content for a boneless chicken breast (3 grams) and skinless chicken thigh (9.2 grams).
The spicy-sweet pomegranate reduction sublimely sets off the inherent richness of the beef (did I really just say that?). However, a light drizzling of the sauce is all you’ll need. Start the sauce while the beef is roasting, it takes about 30 minutes to reduce – perfect timing! Really, this fancy-schmancy dinner couldn’t be easier, but don’t tell my guests who dropped in today for a surprise visit.
Sirloin Roast with Spicy-Sweet Pomegranate Reduction Recipe
For Roast:
- 1 2lb beef sirloin roast, preferably center cut
- 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cavender’s Greek Seasoning
For Sauce:
- 1 cup Pomegranate Juice
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons dried chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Heat oven to 350 F degrees. Season outside of roast with black pepper and Greek seasoning. Place meat in roasting pan with wire rack in bottom and cook for approximately 30 minutes in the oven. For medium doneness, remove when a meat thermometer reaches 135 F degrees in the thickest part of the roast. Remove roast from oven and let rest 5 – 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients, whisking to incorporate honey. Bring the mixture to a boil; then reduce the heat and simmer until it reduces in volume by half or less (depending on preference). Serve warm with tenderloin.
Unfortunately I came to this blog post absolutely starving and that drool worthy photo has put me over the top….I am now about to raid the fridge, but not for something as decadent as you this (sadly!). Looks SO good!
This looks amazing! I love how simple it seems, too!
