BBQ Beef Roast in the Oven

I saw this recipe on the Babycenter Cooking for your Family board and I knew I had to try it.

Only problem was, I didn't have a beef roast. So what do you do in a jam like this? You improvise! I used a pork loin in place of the beef roast.

OH.MY.WORD was this good! I mean really really good. The aroma it put off the whole time it was cooking was simply mouth watering!

You absolutely must try this recipe! No ifs, ands, or buts about it! Add it to your list and try it out now! I served this with Crispy Roasted Potatoes and roasted asparagus.

Just the aroma of this meat roasting in the oven will pique your appetite. It takes 1 1/2 hours to cook, but it is worth the wait. Bake some potatoes along with the roast for a weekday family supper. Leftover meat makes good sandwiches the next day.

1 beef top round roast, 1 1/2 inches thick (about 3 pounds)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup ketchup
1 T prepare mustard
1 tsp prepared horseradish
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 small yellow onion, sliced

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place beef in a lightly sprayed or oiled roasting pan or Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mustard, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce and mix well. Spread mixture over meat and arrange onion slices on top. Cover and bake until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

If desired, to make gravy, blend 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup water and stir into pan juices over medium heat until thickened.

Sandy's Notes: Caramelize the onion before adding to the pot
