Start Cooking
Roast
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C).
-
Combine the Delmonico rub ingredients in a small bowl. Wash and dry Delmonico roast and place in a 9x13 (23x33 cm) pan. Lightly season the roast with onion powder, seasoned salt, garlic powder and paprika. Smear the entire roast, top and bottom with the rub.
-
Place roast in oven and bake uncovered for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or to when your meat thermometer reads 130 degrees for medium-rare doneness. (Bake additional time for medium-well done.)
-
Remove meat from oven, cover with foil and allow to sit 15 minutes before slicing.
Glaze
-
While your roast is cooking, prepare red wine and onion glaze.
-
Place 3 tablespoons oil, sliced red onions, salt, and pepper into a 4 quart saucepan. Sauté over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the onions begin to soften.
-
Add 2 cups dry red wine. Raise flame to medium-high and cook until wine reduces by half (about 15 minutes).
-
Meanwhile, take a 2-quart pot and place honey, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and zest inside. Turn on a medium-low flame, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until your honey glaze begins to simmer.
-
Once it simmers, stop stirring and allow the mixture to simmer an additional 2 minutes. Pour the honey glaze mixture into the onion mixture and then add the apricot jam. Raise the heat to a boil, then reduce to medium-low again. Allow mixture to cook about 30 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Turn off heat.
-
Slice roast. Serve with onion glaze poured over slices, or serve the glaze in a bowl and each person can pour the glaze over the meat individually.

A roast by any other name
Are there other names for Delmonico roast? My butcher doesn't carry them and asked if I'm looking for a French roast.Replies:Delmonico has so many other names. It's a rolled roast. Like a flanken roast. Kinda fatty, fall apart type of meat. Ask your butcher for what cuts he thinks are closest. -
