Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 180ðC/350ðF.
-
Pat the sirloin roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven.
-
Roast for one hour.
-
Carefully remove the pan from the oven and add the whiskey and red wine to the pan.
-
Return the roast to the oven and cook for a further hour, basting once more halfway through.
-
Remove the roast from the pan, place it on a serving dish, and keep it warm.
-
Pour off excess fat from the meat juices in the pan, adding water as needed to bring the liquid volume to about 15 oz.
-
In a small bowl, beat the butter into the flour to form a smooth paste.
-
Gradually add a little of the hot meat juices to the butter-flour paste, mixing well to create a smooth slurry.
-
Pour the slurry back into the pan with the remaining juices, stirring constantly.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to cook the flour and thicken the sauce.
-
Taste and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
-
If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little more water to reach desired consistency.
