  • 5 lb. roast
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1 tsp. mace
  • 1 tsp. allspice
  • 2 Tbsp. salt
  • 1 c. water
  • 2 medium onions
  • 1 Tbsp. onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 c. salad oil

Instructions

  3. Cover dish and turn meat occasionally for 4 hours or more.
  4. Let meat marinate overnight.
  5. Cover meat with sliced onions.
  6. Add water and bake at 300°F for 2 hours.

Tips & Substitutions

For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the beef for up to 24 hours. If you don't have ground cloves, allspice can be a good substitute. Additionally, using a high-quality salad oil can enhance the overall taste. Be sure to check the internal temperature of the roast; it should reach at least 145°F for medium-rare. If you prefer a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the rub.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the marinated beef roast with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal. A fresh salad dressed with Garlic French Dressing complements the rich flavors of the beef beautifully. Consider pairing it with a glass of red wine for a complete dining experience. Leftover roast also makes a delicious filling for sandwiches or tacos.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover beef roast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the roast in individual portions. To reheat, place the slices in a covered dish with a splash of broth or water and warm in the oven at 250°F until heated through, ensuring the meat stays moist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can use other cuts like brisket or chuck roast, but cooking times may vary. Ensure that the cut you choose is suitable for slow cooking to achieve tenderness.

What can I do if I don't have salad oil?

If you don't have salad oil, you can substitute it with olive oil or any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil. Each will impart a slightly different flavor but will still work well in the marinade.

How can I tell when the roast is done?

Using a meat thermometer is the best way to check doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F, while medium should reach 160°F. Allow the roast to rest before slicing for optimal juiciness.
