Notes

  • Or similar cut of meat such as a rump roast
  • If using fresh herbs, increase to 1 or 1-1/2 teaspoons each. 
  • I recommend using reducing sodium broth or stock so that you can control the sodium levels. 
  • To speed up the morning prep, trim the fat and cube the roast,and cut up onions and mushrooms the night before.
