Christmas Roast

Time Icon90 minutes
Servings Icon8

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb. eye of round beef roast
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

Rub Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. coarse ground peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, minced

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/2 large white onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp. cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup Coca-Cola

Directions:

  • 1Combine the rub ingredients in a small mixing bowl, then rub mixture into the beef roast.
  • 2Let the roast sit out for 30 minutes to become room temperature and allow the rub to seep in.
  • 3Preheat your oven to 500°F.
  • 4Heat a cast iron pot or skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil, then sear the meat 2 minutes per side until all sides are seared.
  • 5Place the roast in the oven uncovered, closing the oven door and turning off the heat; leave the meat in the oven until it comes to 125°F. This might take an hour or up to three, depending on the size of roast you select.
  • 6Remove the roast and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.
  • 7Heat the skillet that roasted the beef over medium-high heat and add in the chopped onion, stirring to scrape up the beef drippings.
  • 8Once the onions are soft, add in Worcestershire sauce, cranberry sauce and Coca-Cola, and bring to a simmer, allowing it to bubble away, reducing over 20 to 30 minutes while your meat finishes resting.
  • 9To complete the sauce, using a blender, blend the sauce until smooth and season with salt to taste. Let that keep simmering on low until you're ready to serve.
  • 10Finally, slice up your roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with the sauce.
