Answers:
This may sound to easy but after all of my years of experience this is the best roast ! Heat a heavy pan that can go into the over!. After pan is well heater add the roast and let it cook till well browned on one side than flip it and repeat!. The roast will not stick as long as the pan was hot when meat was added and when you have let it browned well!. After browning DO NOT add anything just cover pan and put into an oven heated to 350 degrees!. Depending on the size cook it an hour to two hours checking after first hour!. This will make the best brown dripping that you can use for serving with the roast or to make gravy with!. Hope you will enjoy!. This recipe reminds me of my grandma's roast and I sure wish I had gotten her gravy recipe!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
