Roast Beef and Sides on the Road #RSC
- 2 lbs roast
- 14 cup red wine
- 1 teaspoon butter or 1 teaspoon margarine
- 3 large potatoes, halved and quartered
- 12 lb baby carrots
- 12 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 lb zucchini, cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 12 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 12 teaspoon rosemary
- 14 teaspoon thyme
- 2 teaspoons steak seasoning
- Reynolds Wrap Foil
- Combine all seasonings and half the salt and pepper to make a rub.
- Coat the roast with the rub and stab the spices into the roast with a fork.
- Don't worry, the holes will seal with seared.
- Cook two slices of bacon is a heavy skillet, remove and save bacon.
- At high heat, sear each side of the roast leaving the meat in the pan until it is easily released and a good crust is formed.
- Remove meat from pan and set aside.
- Pour wine into the pan and deglaze, adding butter, cooking until sauce is reduced to about half.
- Roll out double the amount of Reynolds Wrap needed to wrap the roast, potatoes and baby carrots and place the roast in the center.
- Arrange potatoes and carrots around the sides and top and pour pan sauce over all.
- With another sheet of Reynold's Wrap, form a packet that will lay flat and place the zucchini, red bell pepper, remaining salt and pepper, and two remaining slices of bacon inside.
- Seal well and place packet on top of roast.
- Seal the entire packet tightly, paying close attention to the creases.
- You do not want this to leak!
- After sealed, re-wrap the package again and seal for added protection.
- Now for the fun part!
- Start the engine in your car and let it idle a few minutes and turn off.
- Raise the hood of your car and feel inside to find a good hot spot with room to place your food bundle.
- The exhaust manifold is usually a good place, or if there is enough clearance, the top of the radiator works well too.
- You may want to crumple a ball of foil that is the same height as your food bundle, put it in the spot you want to place your food and shut the hood.
- If your ball of foil is crushed, that's not a good place to put your food.
- Once a good spot is found, use wire to secure your package down and hit the road!
- It's a good idea to check your package after about 15 minutes to make sure it's still secure, and every couple of hours to make sure it isn't leaking.
- After about 250 miles, your roast and zucchini side is tender and delicious and best of all, home-cooked!
