TRINLESTOWN ROAST SIRLOIN

Category: Beef

3 lbs sirloin beef roast
1/4 cup Irish whiskey
1 1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Wipe meat, season and place in a roasting pan. Place pan in oven and cook for one hour. Add the whiskey and wine to the pan. Cook for a further hour, basting once more.

Remove the roast from the pan, place on a serving dish and keep warm. Pour off excess fat from the meat juices, adding water to bring to about 13/4 cup. Beat the butter into the flour to form a smooth paste. Add a little of the juices to this and mix well, then pour onto juices, mixing again, and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to cook flour. Correct the seasoning. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water. Serve separately in a gravy boat.
