Ingredients:
3 lbs sirloin tip roast
2 fluid ounces Irish whiskey
10 fluid ounces red wine ( NOT cooking wine)
1 ounce unsalted butter
2 ounces flour
Directions:
Heat your oven to 350 F.
Wipe the meat, season to taste with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan.
Place the pan in the oven and cook for one hour.
Add the whiskey and wine to the pan.
Cook for a further hour, basting once or twice.
Remove the roast from the pan, place on a serving dish and keep warm.
Pour off the excess fat from the meat juices, adding water to bring to about 15 fluid ounces.
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 the juices, mixing again, and bring to the boil.
Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to cook the flour.
Correct the seasoning, if necessary.
If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water.
Serve separately in a gravy boat.
Serve with potatoes cooked in their jackets and a cooked green vegetable.
