English Roast with Orange Rosemary Butter
Jill O’Brien
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.
Ingredients
blank
- 1 – 1.5 pound Wild Idea Buffalo English Roast
- 2 – tablespoons olive oil
- 1 – teaspoon of salt
- 2 – teaspoons of black pepper

Directions

Remove English Roast from packaging, then rinse and pat dry.
In a heavy pot, add the olive oil and seasonings. Mix together.
Place the roast in the pot and roll it around in the seasonings. Cover lightly with plastic wrap or a towel and allow the roast to rest for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 500°.
Place roast uncovered in hot oven for 7 minutes, then shut the oven off.
Leave the roast in the oven for another 2 hours. Do NOT open the oven door.
Remove the roast from the oven and turn the oven back on to 500°.
Remove the roast from the pot and place on a cutting board and cut the roast into thin slices, keeping the slices tightly together. Transfer the slices onto a baking pan for reheating.
Place the pot that the roast cooked in on the stovetop over medium high heat and add either a little broth, wine or water for an au jus. Season to taste.
Place sliced roast back into hot oven and reheat for 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately transfer to a platter. Serve with hot au jus.

Great roast recipe! Came out delicious and family loved it!
I could not imagine this could possibly even work when I saw the recipe called for only 7 minutes cooking with the oven on and 2 hours with oven off with the door closed. I was so sure I would screw it up. Ha. But I figured Jill knows what she’s talking about! Oh my glad how happy I am that I trusted the process! That was the most delicious elegant roast. And so small and dainty and yet plenty of feed a small dinner party. Absolutely wonderful. I’m hooked and yay — more in the fridge for tomorrow!
Barbara – Leave the roast uncovered. As for following the Roast Chicken recipe , I have not tried that with the English roast, so I can not give you solid advice on that. Theoretically – it seems like that would work, although dropping your 15 minute hot cooking time down to 7 minutes due to poundage adjustment.
