Best Roast ever!

As I was walking through the meat department of a new grocery store in our area, this seasoned, delicious looking roast caught my attention.  It was just the right size for the our family and it was seasoned with herbs and stuffed with onions/peppers.  I couldn't resist purchasing it.  I typically like to season my own meat, but this looked really good.  When I got home, I had to figure out the best way to cook my roast (i.e. crock pot, stove top, oven, etc.). 

About a two weeks ago, I noticed there was a sale on the KC Marinades, so I purchased about three different flavors.  One of the flavors was Caribbean Jerk.  Since the roast was already seasoned, I decided to marinade the roast with the Caribbean Jerk marinade.  I don't have a picture of my roast (please believe it was beautiful), but I did find a picture online that resembled my roast once it was cooked. 

Today, Nick, the kids, and I went shopping at a new place (to us) called The Fresh market.  It was stunning inside.  All the fruit looked like it had been air brushed.  There was a great sale on the meat, so I bought two huge pork chops and some andouille sausage.  I am using the KC Tuscan Garlic and Herbs sauce.  I will post that recipe next week as well as my thoughts on the marinade. 

Recipe: Caribbean Jerk Marinaded Beef Roast over a bed of new potatoes. 

Ingredients:
Seasoned Roast
Caribbean Jerk Marinade
Potatoes
Seasoning (for potatoes)
Butter
Cooking Spray
2 tablespoons of canola oil

Directions:
Peel the potatoes (I used red potatoes). Then chop into quarters.  Next, season potatoes with season all, garlic and herbs powder/seasoning, and black pepper. 

Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray, place seasoned potatoes in pan.  Place to the side. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  The roast is already seasoned, so pour on some of the Caribbean jerk marinade on both sides of the roast.  Use a basting brush to cover both sides evenly.  In a large skillet, put a little canola cooking oil in the pan.  When oil is warm, cook the seasoned roast on both sides for about 2 minutes each.  This is just giving your roast a pretty brown color.  When you pre-cook the roast on each side, place on top of the seasoned potatoes.  Add teaspoons of butter in the pan (I put some in the corners and in the middle).  Cover and cook for one hour.  Then uncover and cook for about 20 more minutes. 

Serve with a salad and a vegetable of your choice.  Enjoy!
