1/2 cup   125 mL   barbecue sauce
1/4 cup   50 mL   EACH red wine, Worcestershire sauce and steak sauce
2 tbsp   30 mL   ketchup
3 lb   1.5 kg   Boneless Beef Pot Roast (e.g. Cross Rib, Blade or Top Blade)
1   1   medium onion, halved lengthwise
3   3   garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp   15 mL   cornstarch

PREPARATION TIME: 5 minutes
COOKING TIME: 2 1/2 to 3 hours
MARINATING TIME: 12-24 hours

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine barbecue sauce, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce and ketchup in large sealable freezer bag. Pierce beef all over with fork and add to bag; seal and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.

2. Place roast on double layer of heavy-duty foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray, reserving marinade. Cut onion halves lengthwise into wedges; scatter onion and garlic over roast. Cover roast with second double layer of foil; seal edges tightly. Preheat barbecue to 350°F (180°C). Turn one burner off; place roast on grill over turned-off burner. Cook for 2-1/2 to 3 hours in closed barbecue. Remove to baking tray.

3. Remove roast from foil and keep warm. Pour cooking juices and onion mixture into medium saucepan; add reserved marinade and bring to boil. Mix cornstarch into 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water; gradually stir into boiling sauce and cook, stirring, until thickened. Serve drizzled over slices of beef.
