Monday – Beef Roast

This large cut of meat that cooks easily in the oven, makes dinnertime a breeze. We love it more when served with delicious sides like this Cheesy Potato Casserole and Sautéed Green Beans.

Sliced roast beef on a white oval platter, garnished with fresh parsley. The meat is cooked medium, showing a juicy pink center, and is served with a red and white checkered cloth beside the plate.

This roast cooks so tender and juicy and with the best browned crust. We have added a teaspoon of dried herbs such as thyme or fresh rosemary sprigs for a delicious variation.
