Tender beef round roast is marinated in a mixture of beer, brown sugar, and dijon mustard for 12 hours then roasted in a slow oven until it's just right. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor - this is a nice change from those turkey leftovers!
For this recipe you'll need: 3 pounds bottom sirloin roast (I used beef round roast), dark beer, Dijon mustard, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and guijillo peppers (because I love their flavor!)
Round rump roast is lean and budget friendly. It's best to braise it but you can roast it in the oven as I have here and slice it thin against the grain.
I wasn't too worried about it being tough because it marinates for 12 to 14 hours before cooking. That's plenty of time for the fibers to soften up and start to break down. So, I mixed the marinade ingredients together, put the beef in a vacuum sealer bag, added the marinade, and prepared to wait it out.
It was totally worth it.
I have to tell you, as I put this on the table I felt like I should be wearing heels, a starched apron, and pearls. There's something about roast beef that just feels like a family dinner, don't you think?

Good morning Restlesschipotle. I am a 64 year disabled guy who has been the cook for my wife and I for 34 years. As you I usually just end up throwing it the slow cooker. I've never heard of a guajillo chile is there a substitute? I live outside of Chicago in Indiana and can't believe I haven't heard of a guajillo chile. Thank you, when I make this I'll let you know and rate this recipe.

Hmmm... you could use a chipotle. It would be a little different but still very good. OR you could leave it out completely!

We use beer all the time for marinades. One of my favorites is beer and Italian dressing marinated chuck roast on the grill. So good. I can't wait to try this marinade!

That sounds so good, Christie! I've marinated London Broil in Italian dressing but never added beer. Definitely going to try it!
