Comments
This recipe is from the Haverhill Beef Company. I’m slowy, but surely, working through the remaining cuts of meat leftover from our first half cow purchase from back in August. Roasts are easy and delicious, and require hardly any prep time, just some unattended time in the oven. They’re great for a weekend meal when you’ve got a chunk of time at home. This cut of meat isn’t a super tender one, but the roast was flavorful and we all enjoyed it. And the leftovers!
