We were given a roast by a friend of ours, the cut is called a "Pikes Peak"..........any ideas on how to cook that?
Thanks in advance!
“Pike’s Peak roast” is another name for a “heel of round roast”
There are some recipes here:
Heel of Round
and one below.
Phaed
Roast Beef with Gravy
1 3 to 5 pound Beef Roast (Pikes Peak, Rump, English, etcetera)
Gravy:
1 (10-ounce) can RoTel brand tomatoes (tomatoes with chilies)
2 (10 3/4-ounce) cans mushroom soup (store brand okay)
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can Campbell’s brand golden mushroom soup
1 (1.5-ounce) package dry onion soup mix (store brand okay)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon black pepper
In a 16 quart roaster or cast iron Dutch Oven, mix all the gravy
ingredients and dilute with water to the consistency that you like
your gravy. Place roast in gravy and spoon some gravy over it. Place
in at 350*F (180*C) oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and turn roast and
place back in oven for 1 hour.
Remove roast and slice in 1/4-inch slices across the grain. Place
back in the gravy, cover and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The
roast beef will be tender enough to cut with a fork.
Note: Delicious served with mashed potatoes and garlic bread (bread
with garlic flavored oleo or butter and browned in a broiler.) Also,
we used to use a large baked potato insteadof mashed potatoes.
A 5 pound roast will serve 12 to 14 people.
I’ve never heard of a “Pikes Peak” cut
