7 spice slow roasted beef in irish beer
The way to go with this recipe is LOW & SLOW. I seasoned this meat with 7 different spices, dredged it in flour, added 2 bottles of Stout dark beer & cooked it at 275 degrees F. for 5 hours. I put it on before shopping & running errands, & when I returned home the AROMA FROM THE FLAVORS was intoxicating, & meat tender. The gravy was thick, rich & a deep caramel brown, it was so tender & flavorful, I could barely get the potatoes & carrots ready to go with it. Bought some store bought bread sticks, & I tell you, this was a comfort meal to REMEMBER on a cold day in Illinois. Great meal

Step 1This is a great meal to prepare ahead of time when you have errands to run. It can cook in less than 5 hours but the slower and longer it cooks the more tender it becomes.Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. This is the cast iron oval pot that I cooked it in.

Step 2If you partially freeze roast, it makes it much easier to cut into cubes. Cut partially frozen roast into medium size cubes, removing excess fat, but leaving some so meat will not be dry.
