Give your next roast a Mexican kick with this spicy chipotle rub.

Ready in: 2 hours 45 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1/4 cup whole black peppercorns
• 3 dried chipotle chiles, stems removed
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons steak sauce
• 1 (2 to 3 pound) beef tri-tip roast

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 1 hour 30 mins | Extra time: 1 hour, marinating

1. Grind peppercorns, chipotle, and coriander seeds in a spice grinder or food processor until coarsely ground. (Or, if you want to have a little more fun, put them between two pieces of wax paper and pound them with a rubber mallet.) Finish the spice rub by combining ground spices with thyme, salt, and steak sauce. Rub into roast.

2. Refrigerate roast for 1 hour to let spices work their magic. Then preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

3. Position the roast on a baking rack on top of a roasting pan and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F. Let stand 10 minutes before serving to let juices settle, then slice and serve.
