Ingredients
- 4 lb sirloin roast (boneless)
- 1/4 c bell peppers
- 1/4 c onions
- 1/4 c celery
- 2 tb butter (unsalted)
- 1 ts salt
- 1 ts pepper (white)
- 3/4 ts black pepper
- 3/4 ts garlic (minced)
- 1/2 ts dry mustard
- 1/2 ts cayenne (ground)
In a small bowl combine the onions, celery, bell peppers, butter and seasonings, mix well. Place roast in a large roasing pan, fat side up. With a large knife make 6 to 12 deep slits in the meat (to form pockets) down to a depth of about 1/2 inch from the bottom; do not cut all the way through. Fill the pockets to their depths with the vegetable mixture, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the vegetables to rub over the top of the roast. Bake uncovered at 300F until a meat thermometer reads about 160F for medium doneness, about 3 hours. For rarer roast, cook until thermometer reads 140F. Serve immediately topped with some of the pan drippings if you like. From Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen ----
