Yields16 Servings
 4 lb (2 kg) Beef Oven or Rotisserie Roast
 2 cups (500 mL) barbecue sauce
 Chunky Chow-Chow Relish (recipe follows)
Fresh Chow Chow Relish
 2 cups (500 mL) EACH cauliflower florets and coarsely chopped carrots
 Salt
 1 sweet green pepper, coarsely chopped
 ½ cup (125 mL) EACH chopped red onion and barbecue sauce
 2 tbsp (30 mL) EACH vinegar and minced fresh parsley
 1 tsp (5 mL) prepared hot mustard
1

Pierce roast all over with fork. Place in large sealable freezer bag with barbecue sauce; refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours. Discard marinade after use. (If using Premium Rotisserie/Oven Roasts marinate only for 1 to 2 hours or simply rub all over with some of the sauce).

2

Place drip pan under grill; add 1/2 inch (1 cm) water to pan. Preheat barbecue to medium-high (400°F/200°C). To Cook with Rotisserie: Insert spit rod lengthwise through centre of roast; secure with holding forks and place over drip pan. To Cook without Rotisserie: Place roast on grill over drip pan that is moved to one side; turn heat under just the roast.

3

Insert meat thermometer into middle of roast, avoiding spit rod (if using). Cook at constant heat in, closed barbecue, until thermometer reads 145°F(63°C) for medium-rare doneness, about 40 to 50 minutes per kg (20 to 25 minutes per lb). Transfer to cutting board; cover with foil and let stand for up to 30 minutes. Carve into thin slices to serve.
