Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get ready for roasting.

Cooking

- Once out of the oven, allow the roast to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the pan juices over the top for extra flavor!
Notes
Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad. Great with a robust red wine.
