PORK SIRLOIN TIP ROAST

Loaded with flavors from an exquisite combination of herbs with the rich coloring of paprika and a kick from the peppers,  this recipe is hands down the most tender and mouthwatering yet!  Every member of the family loves this meal.

Advanced prep is key!  The night before or morning of...  I pull on disposable latex gloves and slather the meat with herb rub.  Covered and left in the refrigerator, it marinates to perfection.  After work it goes into the oven and the aromas of herbs and meat tickle our appetites until dinner.  We add a steamed, stir fried or baked vegetable and the meal is complete.  It is that easy!  

I found this combination of spices on allrecipes.com and I changed very little from the original recipe.  My husband purchases the 2-pack sirloin tip roast from Costco and we double the recipe and make both at once so we have leftovers for a day or two of lunches.  We strongly recommend preparing double or triple what you will consume in one sitting. 

Advanced preparation is key.  
When hunger strikes... having food prepared and stored in individual servings 
in the refrigerator makes it easier to stay on the Paleo track 
and steer clear of junk-loaded, processed alternatives.

* Cover and place roast in the refrigerator (up to 24 hours) until ready to cook.
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  Place roast on a rack inside a pan with sides.
