Notes
Carrots and/or potatoes can be added 2 to 3 hours before serving.
Try experimenting with different combinations of liquids and spices. 3 cups of liquid and 2 to 3 teaspoons of seasoning is a good rule of thumb for a 4 lb. roast. Water, red wine, beef stock or beer are excellent liquid options. Garlic, rosemary, thyme and paprika make wonderful spice additions to your roast.
