Honey Roasted Beef Shoulder

INGREDIENTS

• 3lbs Beef shoulder
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp thyme, finely chopped
• 1 tsp rosemary, finely chopped 
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup beef stock/Juice from the beef shoulder
• 1/4 tsp flour or cornstarch
• 1 tsp old bay seasoning 
• 2 tsp honey or brown sugar
• Served with Jamaican Rice & Peas 

PREPARATION

• Optional: Marinate beef with season mixture for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350-400degrees
• In a bowl mix salt, pepper, onion powder, thyme leaf, rosemary, worcestershire sauce, garlic, honey or brown sugar and old bay season.
• Base the beef all over with the seasoning mixture then place on a roasting tray on a rack.
• It is recommended to bake for 5 minutes per pound of meat, so a 5-pound roast would bake for 25 minutes, and a 7-pound roast would cook for 35 minutes. However, I prefer my meat well done, so it took 1 hour to fully roast for my 3lb beef.
• Make sure to continuously base the beef roast with the drippings whenever it gets dry.
• In a saucepan add leftover sauce mixture, remove the roast from the pan and pour the pan drippings and beef stock into the saucepan over medium heat.
• Add flour/cornstarch and whisk until there are no lumps, stirring and bringing the sauce to a boil.
• Slice the beef for serving then pour the sauce over beef slice.
