RED-EYE BEEF ROAST

Red-Eye Beef Roast image

The addition of hot sauce zips up this cut of meat. It takes me back to spicy dinners I enjoyed as a child in the Southwest. I like to use the leftovers in different dishes-including barbecued beef sandwiches, quesadillas and burritos. -Carol Stevens, Basye, Virginia
