Ingredients:

5 pounds Certified Angus Beef^® strip roast
1 cup canned sweet dark cherries, drained
1 cup frozen red tart cherries
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450°F232°C.
Combine cherries, chipotle peppers and molasses in a blender. Divide sauce; reserving half for glaze and half for a serving sauce.
Place strip roast, fat side up, in roasting pan with rack and season with salt and pepper. Place in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325°F163°C and brush roast with a thin glaze of cherry sauce. Repeat every 15 minutes until roast reaches desired doneness, approximately 1 1/2 hours for medium doneness (135-140°F58-60°C).
Remove roast from oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Heat remaining sauce in small saucepan. Slice roast across the grain and serve with warmed sauce.
