Birthday Cake and Drunk Roast!

We celebrated Burr's ?? birthday Wednesday night (a day early) with his Dad who suprised us from out of town. Our dinner centered around Peggy Ferguson's famous "Drunk Roast" and was sweetened out by a Carrot Cake, per Burr's request. And it was GOOD.



"Drunk Roast"
3-4 pound rump roast
3 garlic cloves, rough chop
Black peppercorns

Marinate the roast in:
1/2 cup Canadian Club Whiskey (or Crown Royal)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Lea and Perrins
(Ok to double this)

Make slits every inch or so in the roast and stuff with garlich chunks and peppercorns. Place roast in large Ziploc bag or cooking bag. Pour marinade over roast and marinate for 2-3 days.

Bake 30 minutes to the pound at 300 degrees. For medium/medium rare, you are looking for an internal temperature of 150 degrees.

Gravy:
Add 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup water to the drippings. Dissolve 1 Tbls Cornstarch in another 1/4 cup of water and add to mixture. Stir well and serve warm with roast and mashed potatoes!

Stay tuned for carrot cake pictures and recipe!

Thanks for all of the ways you all helped celebrate Burr's special day!

grace and peace,
