Ingredients

1/4 cups Very finely chopped onions
3/4 teaspoons Minced garlic
1/4 cups Very finely chopped celery
1/2 teaspoons Dry mustard
1/4 cups Very finely chopped green be
1/2 teaspoons Ground red pepper (cayenne)

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped onions, celery, bell peppers, melted butter (or oil), minced garlic, dry mustard, ground red pepper, salt, white pepper, and black pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive paste.
3
Pat the boneless sirloin or top round roast dry with paper towels.
4
Place the roast in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
5
Rub the seasoning mixture thoroughly over the top and sides of the roast.
6
Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
7
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Note

The original ingredient list was fragmented; this recipe assumes standard Cajun roast proportions. Ensure the "green be" refers to green bell peppers, which are standard in this cuisine.

Use a 3-4 lb boneless sirloin or top round roast. A layer of fat on top helps keep the meat moist during roasting.

For a deeper flavor, let the seasoned roast sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking.

Adjust the cayenne pepper to taste; 1/2 teaspoon provides a mild kick. Add more for extra heat.

Letting the roast rest after cooking is crucial; it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender slices.
