1/2teaspoon garlic powder
1(3-pound) CAB top sirloin roast, trimmed
2tablespoons olive oil

Gorgonzola Crumble

2tablespoons unsalted butter
1cup panko breadcrumbs
1container (4 to 5 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1-1/2tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Cranberry-Balsamic Sauce

1can (14 ounces) less-sodium beef broth (1-3/4 cups)
3/4cup balsamic vinegar
1/4cup honey
1tablespoon cold water
1tablespoon cornstarch
1cup dried cranberries

1.Prepare Sirloin Roast: Place large shallow roasting pan in oven. Preheat oven to 400°. In small bowl, combine salt, pepper and garlic powder. Coat all sides of beef with oil, then coat with salt mixture.

2.Place beef in preheated pan and roast 55 to 60 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130° for medium-rare, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer beef to cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. (Internal temperature will rise to 135° upon standing.)

3.Meanwhile, prepare Gorgonzola Crumble: In small skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until breadcrumbs are deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. Transfer to small bowl. Fold in Gorgonzola and chives, if desired, just before serving.

4.Prepare Cranberry-Balsamic Sauce: Remove and discard excess fat from roasting pan. Add broth, vinegar and honey to drippings in roasting pan and cook over medium-high heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. In small bowl, combine water and cornstarch. Add cornstarch mixture to simmering liquid; heat to boiling and remove from heat. Strain sauce through fine-mesh strainer; stir in cranberries and let stand 5 minutes.

5.Slice beef into 1/4-inch-thick slices; spoon sauce over beef and sprinkle with topping to serve.
