Trimlestown Roast Sirloin

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Wipe meat, season and place in a roasting pan.

Place pan in oven and cook for one hour.

Add the whiskey and wine to the pan.

Cook for a further hour, basting once more. Remove the roast from the pan, place on a serving dish and keep warm.

Pour off excess fat from the meat juices, adding water to bring to about 15 oz.

Beat the butter into the flour to form a smooth paste.

Add a little of the juices to this and mix well, then pour onto juices, mixing again, and bring to the boil.

Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes to cook flour.

Correct the seasoning.

If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water.

Serve separately in a gravy boat.

Jacket or mashed potatoes, and a cooked green vegetable (possibly broccoli) go well with this, since the sauce is so rich.
