Recipe for Louisiana Roast Beef

Ingredients

1/4 cup very finely chopped onions
1/4 cup very finely chopped celery
1/4 cup very finely chopped green bell peppers
2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted or veg oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
3-4 lb boneless sirloin roast
or any good-quality beef roast

Instructions

In a small bowl combine the onions, celery, bell peppers, butter and seasonings, mixing well. Place the roast in a large roasting pan, fat side up. With a large knife, make 6-12 deep slits in the meat (to form pockets) down to a depth of about 1-1/2" from the bottom (do not cut all the way through. Fill the pockets to their depths with the vegetable mixture, reserving about 1 Tbsp. of the vegetables to rub over the top of the roast. Bake uncovered at 300 degrees until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees for medium doneness, about 3 hours. NOTE: For rarer roasts, cook until thermometer reads 140 degrees, serve immediately, topped with some of the pan drippings if you like.
