Asian spices and condiments add wonderfully unique flavours and aromas to beef. Serve this roast with grilled bok choy and steamed rice. 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 cup (250 mL) soy sauce ¼ cup (60 mL) liquid honey 2 tbsp (30 mL) EACH minced gingerroot and garlic 1 tbsp (15 mL) ground Chinese Five Spice 1 tbsp (15 mL) Sambal Oelek hot pepper condiment (or hot pepper flakes, to taste) 2 lb (1 kg) Beef Sirloin Tip Oven Roast Green onions Sesame seeds

1. Combine soy sauce, honey, gingerroot, garlic, five spice and Sambal Oelek in sealable freezer bag. Pierce roast numerous times with fork. Add roast to bag, massaging to coat; seal bag and refrigerate for 12 hours. 2. Fill drip pan with water and place under grill (off to one side). Preheat barbecue to medium-high (400°F). 3. Remove meat from marinade, reserving marinade. 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 45 to 60 minutes 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. Transfer roast to cutting board, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring reserved marinade to a boil over medium-high heat in a small saucepan. Boil for 1 minute. 5. Carve roast across the grain into thin slices and serve with sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
