English Roast with Orange Rosemary Butter
Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
When I’m wanting a medium rare roast and when a cut needs a little tenderizing, my always go to method is Hot & High then Low & Slow. It’s a winner every time.
This cut has a sinew seam that runs through it, but is very easy to eat around it after slicing.

Recipe Note
You could easily adjust your seasonings and switch up the flavored butter for a different flavor profile. It is the technique that is important to follow. Shop all of our roasts here.
First-time results with the English Roast in an Instapot…We followed the above prep instructions (olive oil, onion powder, salt, pepper) and let the Instapot go for 40 minutes. It was probably too long, as there was no pink left at all. However, it was still good tasting. My husband sliced it thinly with an electric knife. I tried it with a tad of goat cheese with each bite – which I liked. Next time, we’ll cook it less. Still tasted good!! :-)
Sherri – I have not yet prepared this roast in a crock pot – but my best “guessamendation” would be to season as desired, add a bit of broth and cook for about 4 hours on medium to medium low. Let me know how it goes. Thank you!
Any ideas on cooking this roast in crockpot?
This recipe is a winner! I had my doubts about the rosemary-orange butter, but it truly added another dimension to the roast. I’m definitely making this again!
I tried this recipe last night with a couple of minor adaptations. My husband, who likes all things Wild Idea, said this was the best thing I have ever made from Wild Idea! It was quite easy. It just required planning ahead so it has plenty of time to sit and then to roast (while I read a book). It was tender and so flavorful. Thanks to all of you.
