Yes - Pat often goes off it. But today she was on form!
Rolled Sirloin - local farmer - local butcher - 3 1/4lb - yes, £26, BUT two hearty helpings & we have over 2lb left - & that's after what shrinkage there was.
Shrivelling? Never! - coated with flour+dry mustard + black pepper - 20min @ 450F (after room temp for an hour) - then over an hour in the bottom oven @, say, 230F. Anyway - till 160F in the middle. And then rest 20min.
Quite the best we've ever had.
The pots (slugs allowing) were just tossed in a bag in a tbs or so of oil before roasting.
The sprouts? Well you know where they (& the pots) came from. The onion we bought - dammit!!
PS Yes, Grant - not only to brown - but also to soak up the lovely juices in a crust!!
