Onion Marinated Roast Beef

I am trying to avoid fried foods for some time, and while actually doing so, I am amazed with how many recipes I use involve frying.

So I was staying in front of meat counter figuring out what to cook. And then lady behind the counter suggested to roast some beef.

And this is a recipe I decided to go with: roast beef marinated with onions, black pepper, coriander, allspice and bay leaves.

In addition to ingredients this recipe also required an oven bag or dutch oven with a lid.

Ingredients:

  • 2.5lb beef shoulder roast meat
  • 2 onions
  • 1 cup of water or vegetable broth
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Ground coriander to taste
  • 4-5 allspice peppercorns
  • 3-4 bay leaves
  • Salt to taste

How to prepare, step-by-step:

  1. Prepare ingredients:

  6. When you are ready to roast the beef warm up oven to 350F. Take pan with meat in oven bag from the fridge. Add a cup of water (or vegetable broth, or wine or a mix of these) to the bag:

  7. Tie the bag (and make few holes on top), tuck the tips inside the pan, and put pan into the oven for 1.5h (if you use bigger or smaller piece of meat, you will need to adjust time accordingly, using meat thermometer is a good idea):
