Ingredients

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon each ground allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beef sirloin tip roast or 1 beef bottom round roast (2 pounds)
3/4 cup each chopped dried plums and apricots
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

1

For marinade, combine the onion, vinegar, broth, brown sugar, bay leaf and seasonings in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
2

Pierce roast several times with a meat fork; place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add cooled marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
3

Place meat and marinade in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours. Stir in dried fruit and raisins. Bake 45-55 minutes longer or until meat and fruit are tender. Discard bay leaf. Remove roast to a platter; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
4

For gravy, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour pan juices into a saucepan; gradually stir in cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with beef.
