This makes a great patio supper and is perfect for a gathering of friends and family. Our time-test results are based on a roast that was about 7¼-in (18 cm) long x 5½-in (14 cm) wide x 3¾-in (9.5 cm) deep. NOTE: ‘Time-to-cook’ figures are rough guidelines only as cook time is dependent on so many factors such as barbecue and thermometer accuracy, starting temperature of roast, roast shape and cut. A good thermometer is one of your best kitchen investments.

1. Combine onion, oil, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, allspice, thyme, hot pepper sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes in large sealable freezer bag. Remove 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the marinade and set aside to use in the Avocado Salad. Pierce roast all over with fork and add to bag, massaging marinade into roast; seal and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. 2. Fill drip pan with water and place under grill (off to one side). Preheat barbecue to medium-high (400°F). 3. Discard marinade from meat; pat roast dry with paper towel. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer into centre of roast. Place roast on grill over drip pan; turn off burner under drip pan. Close lid and cook for about 1¾ hours for medium-rare, removing from grill when 5°F (3°C) below desired finished temperature (145°F/63°C for medium-rare, or 160°F/71°C for medium, or 170°F/77°C for well-done). NOTE: see ‘ESTIMATED COOKING TIMES’ chart below for timing estimates for all types and sizes of beef roasts. 4. Avocado Salad: Meanwhile, gently combine tomatoes and avocados in a bowl. Stir in 2 tbsp (30 mL) reserved marinade, lime juice, garlic and hot pepper sauce. Season with salt, pepper and additional hot pepper sauce to taste. 5. Transfer roast to cutting board, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, grill flatbreads over medium heat, for about 1 minute per side, or until warmed and grill-marked. Wrap in a clean towel or foil to keep warm. 6. Carve roast thinly across the grain and serve with warm flatbreads and Avocado Salad.
