Trimlestown Roast Sirloin
3 pounds sirloin beef roast
2 fluid ounces Irish whiskey
10 fluid ounces red wine
2 ounces flour -- by weight
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. 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
15 oz.
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.
