Ancho Chili-Rubbed Beef Roast

Ingredients

  • 1 beef round (sirloin) tip roast (about 3 to 4 pounds)
  • Ancho Rub:
  • 2 tablespoons ground ancho chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt

 

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 325°F.
  • Combine Ancho Rub ingredients in small bowl.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons rub for potatoes.
  • Press remaining rub mixture evenly onto beef roast.
  • Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan.
  • Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef, not resting in fat. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 325°F oven 1-3/4 to 2 hours for medium rare; 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours for medium doneness.
  • Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 140°F for medium rare; 155°F for medium. Transfer to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)
  • Meanwhile combine reserved rub with oil in large bowl. Add sweet potatoes; toss to coat evenly.
  • Place potatoes on metal baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour.
  • Uncover potatoes; stir and continue roasting 10 to 15 minutes or until tender.
  • Carve beef roast into thin slices; serve with potatoes.
  • Season beef and potatoes with salt, as desired.
