This is a simple, but absolutely delicious roast! It’s a family favourite and a great alternative to your regular gravy roast.

Serves: 6-8   

Cranberry glazed roast

Ingredients:

• 1kg Beef roast
• 1 Teaspoon salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon pepper
• 1 Cup jellied cranberry sauce
• 1/2 Cup orange juice
• 1/4 Cup packed brown sugar

Method:

1. Combine salt and pepper; rub over the roast.

2. Place roast, fat side up, on a rack in a greased roasting pan.

3. Bake, uncovered, at 300° for 50 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, combine the cranberry sauce, orange juice and brown sugar in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until cranberry sauce is melted. Drizzle a quarter of the glaze over roast.

5. Bake 20 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting frequently with remaining glaze.

6. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serving Suggestion:

• Warm remaining glaze and serve it with the roast.
• Fresh steamed vegetables.

You’ll notice our picture is of a rolled roast, so if that’s what you’re making you may have to reduce the cooking time a little.

Feel free to put some finely chopped onion in the centre!
