This roast is one of the many good reasons to grow ancho chilies! I found this recipe in our local "Area Woman" and it is a keeper! Enjoy! Bon Appetit! Great for company!

Time 2h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3 -4 lb) round tip roast
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons dried ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine rub ingredients; (all ingredients following the roast listed, minus the oil) and reserve 2 Tbs. for potatoes. Press remaining rub onto the beef. Use beef round tip roast.
  • Place roast on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert oven proof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of the beef, not resting in fat. (Do not overcook.).
  • Meanwhile, mix reserved rub and oil and toss with potatoes. Roast Potatoes in a greased baking pan, covered for 1 hour. After 1 hour stir potatoes and leave pan uncovered and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Put the potatoes in the oven during the last hour before roast should be done. I figure in resting time for roast or you can keep the potatoes warm in your convection oven which is what I do, cover back on.
  • Remove the roast when the meat thermometer registers 140 degrees for medium rare; 155 degrees for medium. Let stand for 15 minutes and then carve the roast. Season with salt to your taste.
  • Important - Let the roast stand and rest before cutting or it for 15 minutes or it won't cut nicely!
  • Serve with potatoes.
