BBQ-style Oven Roast

Ingredients

• 1.5 kg meat [1]

• Rub [2]

  • 10 ml brown sugar

  • 15 ml paprika

  • 5 ml black pepper

  • 5 ml salt

  • 5 ml mustard

  • 5 ml cumin

  • garlic (minced/mashed/powder, about ½ clove worth)

• Sauce

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 80 ml apple cider vinegar

  • 50 ml brown sugar

  • 70 ml ketchup

Procedure

1. Cooking the roast

   1. Preheat oven to 135°C (275°F).

   2. Mix rub ingredients together, and rub over meat.

   3. Put meat fat-side down in an oven-safe dish, covered (I use the large ceramic dish from our slow-cooker and cover it with aluminum foil).

   4. Cook in oven for 4 hours and then flip fat-side up and cook for 1 hour.

   5. Remove from oven.

2. Preparing the sauce

   1. On the stove-top, place onion and juices from roast in a sauce pan on medium-high heat.

   2. Once the juice starts boil off (before the onions burn), add vinegar and brown sugar.

   3. Continue boiling off steam until the mixture is reduced to a syrup.

   4. Add ketchup.

3. Finishing touches

   1. Brush about half of the sauce on the roast, and place it back in the oven, uncovered.

   2. Broil until top is lightly browned. [3]
