Total time
 
This killer roast beef recipe is slow cooked on the bbq. The rub is a little spicy, a lot smoky, and a tad sweet from the coconut sugar. It’s gluten free, paleo, and best of all, you don’t have to turn on the oven. That means you can enjoy tender, juicy, roast beef even in the hottest part of summer. The accompanying fresh cherry relish is not to be skipped. You may even want to make a double batch.

Ingredients
Roast Beef
  • 1 3-4 lb sirloin roast
  • 4 cloves of garlic, sliced into ¼ inch batons (lengthwise)
  • ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle
  • ½ teaspoon finely ground coffee
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 3 teaspoons coconut sugar
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
Cherry Relish
  • 4 cups pitted and sliced cherries
  • ½ cup very finely diced red onion
  • ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 12 leaves of cilantro, finely sliced (optional)
Instructions
Roast Beef
  1. Rest roast beef on the counter for 30 minutes
  2. Preheat a gas grill by turning one burner on high, and the other burners on low. With a sharp knife, poke slits into the roast beef large enough to fit your garlic. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, salt, chipotle, coffee, cocoa, and coconut sugar. Rub the spice mixture all over the beef including on the ends. Finally, coat the beef with the olive oil.
  3. Place the meat on the cool side of the grill. Aiming for a temperature of 250-300º. You can turn off one of the burners to achieve that temperature. Close the lid and start checking the temperature of the beef after 45 minutes. Flip the roast beef when you check the temperature and continue to check every 15 minutes once the internal temp is 100º. Turn the roast each time you check.
  4. When the roast reaches 120º, pull it off the grill, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Cherry Relish
  1. Mix cherries with onion, sea salt, allspice, chipotle, and vinegar. Add cilantro just before serving.
