Ingredients
2 cloves garlic (mashed and finely minced)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Dash ground cayenne pepper
3 pounds top sirloin beef roast (aka spoon roast)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 425 F. Line a roasting pan with foil and place a rack in the pan.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Put the roast in the prepared pan and rub it on all sides with olive oil. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the roast.
Roast the beef in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 225 F and continue roasting for about 3 hours longer (about 45 minutes to 1 hour per pound), or until done as desired.
For medium-rare, the beef should register from 130 F to 135 F on a meat thermometer or oven probe placed in the thickest part of the roast.
Tent the roast loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve with your choice of sides.
