1. Heat
oven to 325�F. Combine Ancho Rub ingredients in small bowl. Reserve 2
tablespoons rub for potatoes. Press remaining rub mixture evenly onto beef
roast.
2. Place
roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer
so tip is centered in thickest part of beef, not resting in fat. Do not
add water or cover. Roast in 325�F oven 1-3/4 to 2 hours for medium rare;
2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours for medium doneness.
3. Remove
roast when meat thermometer registers 140�F for medium rare; 155�F for
medium. Transfer to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let
stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5�F to
reach 145�F for medium rare; 160�F for medium.)
4. Meanwhile
combine reserved rub with oil in large bowl. Add sweet potatoes; toss to
coat evenly. Place potatoes on metal baking pan sprayed with cooking
spray. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour. Uncover potatoes;
stir and continue roasting 10 to 15 minutes or until tender.
5. Carve
beef roast into thin slices; serve with potatoes. Season beef and potatoes
with salt, as desired.
