This recipe took first place in the 2011 South Dakota Beef Cook-Off. Cooking the roast uncovered for the first 30 minutes gives it a crusty exterior similar to barbecued brisket, and the flavorful sauce adds just a hint of heat. —Susan Patrick Watertown, SD

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°. For sauce, mix first 13 ingredients.

Cut 8 small slits in roast; fill with garlic halves. Mix 2 tablespoons oil, minced garlic, seasoned salt and pepper; rub onto roast.
In a Dutch oven, heat remaining oil over medium heat; brown roast on all sides. Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce over roast, spreading evenly. Add 1 cup sauce to pan. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes.
Reduce oven setting to 250°. Top roast with an additional 3 tablespoons sauce. Cover pan; bake until beef is tender, 3 to 3-1/2 hours. Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes.
If desired, remove garlic halves before slicing. Serve roast with remaining sauce and lime wedges.
