This recipe was amazing!!!!! I was able to get three meals out of it and I'm feeding 6 people in my house. Everyone enjoyed it and wanted more!

Fabulous and simple!! I was amazed that it tasted great just following the recipe. Who knew so few ingredients would turn out a fantastic roast!!

Tender meat with an interestingly flavoured gravy. Reminded me of a gravy with red wine in it. Looking forward to making the accompanying recipe for the leftovers "Roast Beef with Chive Roasted Red Potatoes". A keeper.

I was wary when I first read what the ingredients were, but I tried it tonight and it went over very well with my husband and in-laws. Would make again!
