Special Notes
This tender and flavorful roast is perfect for special occasions. The key is to let the roast rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. The combination of fresh herbs and spices creates a delicious crust that seals in the juices. It's great served with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.
