Seasoned Roast Beef

I know what everybody is thinking, Roast Beef - throw it in the oven, wait almost an hour then slice it up. While not very far off as a whole, this is a way to cook a reasonable sized roast beef on the stove top in a bit less time. 

Ingredients: 
1 Roast Beef 
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons of brown sugar

* Salt
* Black Pepper
* Paprika
* Cumin
* Rosemary
* Olive Oil

Cook using a dutch oven: Food Network 5 1/2-Qt. Enamel Cast-Iron Dutch Oven (Google Affiliate Ad)

Preparation:
In a shallow dish, mix together the spices, roll the top half of the roast in the spice mix.  Spray a small amount of olive oil in the dutch oven and heat over medium high heat.  Place roast season side up in the dutch oven and sear for 3 - 5 minutes until browned. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and water until well incorporated and pour into the bottom of the dutch oven. Insert a meat thermometer and cover. 

Cook until thermometer reads 160 degrees, remove from pot and let rest covered. 

Serving:
This is best served sliced thin.  This goes well along side of either: 
Pine Nut and Garlic Couscous
Butternut Squash Risotto
