cinnamon roast beef

Try this succulent roast beef infused with Ceylon Cinnamon powder and a delectable selection of spices. Far better than the traditional insipid roast beef recipes. If you are tired of the tradtional roast beef which has no taste, this recipe is for you. The taste is built in, instead of having to add gravy and other things to make it palatable.

In this recipe we cooked two 3lb Beef Chuck Roasts. One for us to keep at home and one to take to a party. Most people will cook a 3lb chuck roast so remember to halve the ingredients if you are cooking only a 3lb roast.

A Beef Chuck with a little fat is the best to add deep flavour. Besides fat is good for you.

Cook Times : 1.5 hours
Yield : 25-30 people

INGREDIENTS

6 lb Roast Beef
1 tbsp. minced Garlic
20 Piece Garlic cloves.
5 tsp. Salt - Learn about salting here
1 tsp. black Pepper
1 tbsp. Ceylon Cinnamon Powder
2 tbsp. Hot Hungarian Paprika
4 tbsp. Olive Oil
2 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp. Worcester sauce
4 tbsp. Coconuit oil

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F.
Spice Marinade - Mix Salt, Pepper, Ceylon Cinnamon powder, Hungarian Paprika, minced Garlic, Red Wine Vinegar and Worcester with Olive Oil in a bowl. Set aside.
Heat 4 tablespoons of Coconut oil in a frying pan to medium high heat. Once smoking hot, sear all sides of the meat to lock in all the juices. (Since we had two pieces we did this twice). Remove from pan onto a cutting board.
Cut slits into the beef and insert the 20 whole pieces of garlic cloves deep inside the roast.
Inject the Spice Marinade into the slits where you inserted the garlic pieces. We used a baster but a better idea is to use a Marinate injector like this from Amazon.
Brush spices mixture onto the meat. Preferably you want to inject the spices mixture deep into the roast beef with food injector or baster.
Add the seared and spiced roast beef to a roasting tray and cook for 1.5 hours at 350 ° F. Do not open the overn trayt. This will give you a medium roast. The outside will be well browned and may look browned, but not to worry. The Cinnamon makes it look dark on the outside but the inside will be just right.
Finally pan fry some Shallots in butter and a dash of salt as garlish for the roast beef display.
Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

WHY CEYLON CINNAMON

Unlike ordinary Cassia Cinnamon you find in the stores, Ceylon Cinnamon has low Coumarin levels, so it won't damage your liver, especially if you are a regular Cinnamon tea drinker. Besides Ceylon Cinnamon is mild, yet slightly sweeter. It is not spicy like store bought Cassia Cinnamon, but has hints of cloves and citrus with wonderful subtle aroma.

Ceylon Cinnamon is subtle and adds to create a more complex flavors. You would never know there is Ceylon Cinnamon in this dish, unlike Cassia Cinnamon which tends to be harsh and immediately makes its presence felt and often ruins the recipe.
