SOUTHWESTERN ROAST BEEF

Roast beef tender enough to cut with a fork, each juicy slice is loaded with southwestern flavors to create this Southwestern Roast Beef.

Provided by Mary Younkin

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds center cut top sirloin beef roast
1/3 cup honey mustard
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon NM chili powder
4 teaspoons cumin
3 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 teaspoon granulated onion or onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Stir together the salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Tie the roast with cooking twine. You can watch a quick how to video here. (Tying isn't required, but it will help ensure an evenly cooked roast.) Set the roast on a rack over a baking tray or inside a roasting pan. Use a pastry brush to coat the roast generously with the honey mustard. Place the roast fat side down and sprinkle the roast with about 1/3 of the spices. Turn the roast over, so the fat side is on top, and sprinkle the top and sides with the remaining spices. A good rule of thumb is to sprinkle the roast until the spices no longer stick to it. I used about 2/3 of the rub.
  • Make sure the roast is still fat side up and cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Remove the roast from the refrigerator and set it on the counter about half an hour before cooking. (You can also cook it straight from the refrigerator, just expect to add a few minutes cooking time.)
  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Uncover the roast and place it in the center of the very hot oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees, continue cooking for 45 minutes, or just until the roast hits 130 degrees. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons jarred grated horseradish (with liquid)
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce
6 Kaiser rolls
12 slices vine-ripened tomatoes
24 ounces freshly sliced rare roast beef
3 loosely packed cups watercress or arugula, or a combination of both

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the onion and 1 tablespoon of the salt. Set aside for 20 minutes. Rinse the onions with cold running water. Drain and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Combine the onions and the vinegar and marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, zest, and 2 teaspoons salt. Season generously with pepper and hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate the horseradish sauce for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Using your hands, shallowly scoop out the inside of each half. Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and arrange scooped-side up. Toast the rolls under the broiler for about 1 minute. Slather the inside of the rolls with the horseradish sauce. On each of the roll bottoms, layer 2 tomato slices and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top the tomatoes with some of the roast beef overlapped into "ruffles" and season with salt and pepper. Top the meat with some of the onions and watercress and cover with the tops of the roll. Serve immediately.
