Ingredients
Bone-in sirloin tip roast
2 1/2-3 lbs (Trim excess fat if necessary)
Garlic cloves

Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons (Divided)
Dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon (Sprinkled)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2
Using a sharp knife, make slits all over the sirloin tip roast and insert the slivers of garlic into the slits, ensuring they are evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
3
Rub the roast all over with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, followed by a sprinkle of dried thyme leaves for a fragrant aroma.
4
Position the roast on a roasting rack placed in a baking pan. Lay the slices of bacon on top of the roast, covering it entirely to infuse the meat with flavor and moisture during cooking.
5
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (145°F/63°C for medium-rare).
6
Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board, allowing it to rest for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
7
Meanwhile, pour the drippings from the pan into a small skillet over medium heat.
8
Add the remaining tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the drippings and whisk until well combined, bringing the mixture to a boil.
9
Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 5-7 minutes.
10
Slice the roast, drizzle the sauce over the top, and serve with your choice of sides.
