    Great recipe ! Followed it exactly and i was very glad it did. The meat was perfectly cooked , well- done yet juice. The flavor was great, all the aromatics worked perfectly with buffalo.

    Thank you,
    Kat

    Hi Linda – This will work for a boneless or for a bone-in. Thank you for catching that error in the recipe – I have adjusted. And… thank you for your support and sustainable great taste!

    Hi Jill,
    What are your thoughts about how much to adjust the time for a boneless roast? I’m assuming less time per pound. Thanks.
