Roasting this beef
I have a 10.95 lb "round sirloin tip knuckle," USDA Select, half of which I want to roast in a conventional electric oven.
As few online recipes have this specificity (especially for this grade, cut, and technique), I have some questions:
- How should I season it? I'm obsessed with butter, tomato, pepper, and onion.
- OO/butter on top?
- Caramelized onions?
- Tomato? paste?
- Should I put aluminum foil on it when roasting it?
- Can you give me an estimate of time/temperature?
Thanks.

This cut would benefit from a relatively slow roast. I would thickly slice a few onions and put them in a dutch oven. Then rub the beef with mustard, salt and pepper, place on the onions, cover with a damp piece of baking parchment, put the lid on and roast at about 340F for 4 hours.
The fat will render out of the meat and the onions will caramelise beautifully in it. The meat should be fork tender and delicious.

What does it mean to roast the meat?
Roasting is a cooking method that uses dry heat and hot air to surround the food and cook it evenly on all sides. Food can be roasted over an open flame, an oven, or additional heat sources. Once roasted, foods such as meat and vegetables will have a flavor that is enhanced through caramelization and browning.How long should you roast beef for?
Weigh the joint in order to calculate the cooking time. If you like rare beef cook the joint for 20 minutes per 450g plus 20 minutes, for a medium result cook the meat for 25 minutes per 450g plus 25 minutes and for a well done joint cook it for 30 minutes per 450g plus 30 minutes.Do you cover beef when roasting?
Do not add water or liquid and do not cover the roast. Covering the roast would result in more steaming than roasting in the oven so we cook a beef roast uncovered.What temperature should a beef roast be cooked to?

USDA select is unfortunately the lowest grade that is commercially sold, so it's not going to be tender or well-marbled. The best option for you is to braise it in a covered pot with some liquid for about 3-4 hours at maybe 250F.
