Very flavorful! I used a 2 lb tri-tip (sirloin tip) roast. I didn't have enough mayo so I mixed it with dijon mustard. It came out splendidly! The recipe didn't say what to do with the leftover onions from the strained sauce, but I couldn't possibly discard them, so I added them to some baby carrots I had microwaved for 6 minutes with a little water in a casserole dish. It was a wonderful side dish along with mashed potatoes. Next time I will add more beef broth and buy a bigger roast (to have more juices) because it only yielded about a cup of sauce and there were 4 of us. It would have been yummy to have it on the potatoes as well. Thanks so much for posting this!

This was excellent. I will indeed serve this the next time I have guests.

Great festive meal, easy, easy. But expensive. Roasted all ingredients covered for first half and uncovered for second half. Browned beautifully. Thick sliced onions roasted in the garlic, mayo, horseradish drippings so good that next time I'll double the amount of onions from 4 to 8. We're having "steak soup" made from left overs - meat, sauce, onions and cubed baked potatos - for dinner tonight. All microed in a base of old fashioned canned mushroom soup. Just sampled it - Yummy!
