Wow this was just tremendous! I love the spiciness of the rub and at the end of roasting, the jus was marvelous. I did add a little extra garlic and onions and I didn’t bother straining the jus. Thanks for posting Okilisa. This recipe is a keeper!

My husband who is normally very blase about roasts, LOVED this! I thought it was pretty good as well, although next time I’ll add a little more salt and garlic salt but I love the spicy pepper kick. Yum!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! This is THE most excellent roast I have ever tasted!!! No offense to the other reviewer who thought it was too spicy but… ahem lady… did you not read the name “Spicy Roast”. Yes it’s spicy but that is what it is supposed to be! YUM! A new family favorite around here and you are right… I got sooo many complements and then I was mobbed for recipe requests. Thanks!

There was WAY too much pepper in this recipe. It made it so spicy that I choked on the first bit that I had of the meat and AuJus. If I was to make it again, I would omit the red pepper and cut the black pepper to 1 teaspoon.

This sounds sooo good! I am about to change the way I have cooked beef roast the last 40 years.
