Guinness Beer-Barbecued Beef Roast

½ cup canola oil (125 mL)

¼ cup Guinness beer (60 mL)

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (10 mL)

1 Tbsp brown sugar (15 mL)

2 cloves garlic, minced (2)

1 shallot, very finely chopped (1)

½ tsp pepper (2 mL)

2 tsp Dijon mustard (10 mL)

2 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon (30 mL)

1 – 4 lb well-marbled beef outside round roast (2 kg)
1. Combine first 9 ingredients in medium bowl. Mix well. Pour into a large re-sealable plastic bag.
2. Pierce roast all over with a carving fork or large skewer. Add the beef roast to the marinade, seal the bag and marinate the roast in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
3. Drain marinade from the roast and discard. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Cook roast on barbecue, using indirect heat, for 1 ½ to 2 hours or to internal temperature of 145°F (62°C) for medium-rare beef.
