Oven Barbecued Beef Roast

Oven Barbecued Beef Roast or Steaks

Originally this recipe called for beef steak instead of beef roast. However, steak prices are so high right now, that we opt for buying a round roast, or whatever is the cheapest at the time we go shopping.

Ingredients

2 Tbs. vegetable oil
4 lbs. round roast, cut into strips or pieces
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 c. water
3/4 c. ketchup
3/4 c. vinegar
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. prepared mustard
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 170° for longer baking time and a more tender meat or 350° for shorter baking time.

In a Dutch oven or an ovenproof skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium high heat.

Cut off most of the fat from the roast. Add beef roast pieces or strips into the skillet.  Brown the pieces in hot oil. 

Add onions and garlic to the skillet.  Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, or until they are browned.

Stir in water, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, brown sugar, salt and pepper.  Simmer for 5 minutes.

Cover the Dutch oven or skillet and bake for 10 hours or until meat is tender.  If you are baking the beef at 350°, bake for 3 hours or until tender.
