“The flavors are on point. Really delicious. I think the Worcestershire and balsamic really adds to the overall flavors, I also threw in more rosemary sprigs and bay leaves. I cooked mine for closer to 9 and a half hours to make it very tender. Like the recipe ” — a cook, 5★
“This really was the most flavorful roast I have ever made. I did not skip a single step. I may use a few less potatoes next time and serve with mashed potatoes. The gravy was delicious.” — a cook, 5★
