Recipe: Rolled Beef Roast with Thai-Spiced Honey Glaze (marinated and grilled)

CAPTAIN'S TABLE ROLLED BEEF ROAST

1 (5 lb) rolled beef roast
FOR THE MARINADE:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Chablis
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
6 single garlic cloves, cut into 20-25 slivers
FOR THE GLAZE:
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup lite soy sauce
3/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 single large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 tablespoon crushed Thai chili peppers

MARINADE:
Combine first eight ingredients in a mixing bowl, stir well and pour into a durable plastic bag. With the tip of a sharp knife, penetrate the outer skin of the roast and insert the slivered garlic cloves. Add beef to the bag, seal and turn to thoroughly coat. Let stand a minimum of 1 1/2 hours, turning several times.

THE GLAZE:
Add honey to sauce pan, heat gently. Add all other glaze ingredients, stir frequently. DO NOT BRING TO A BOIL! Remove from heat.

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Preheat grill to minimum 325 degrees F.

Remove beef from marinade, reserve for future use. Set beef on rack. Insert meat thermometer so that probe is in the center of the meat.

Cover with aluminum foil tent and place on grill or spit. For rare meat, roast for 33 minutes per pound or up to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F for rare meat, 160 degrees for medium. Glaze after 30 minutes. Remove foil for last 1/2 hour. Remove from grill and let stand for fifteen minutes before slicing thinly.

Remaining glaze can be re-heated (boil for a few minutes before using) and used as a sauce. Garnish with greens and serve with asparagus and boiled new small potatoes, if desired.
