Followed to the letter & it turned out beautifully!! Next time I make this l may take it out 5 mins early, but it was perfect for my guests. I’ll time it from the time I turn the oven back on, not from the time it reaches 375 degrees.
I did a 6lb. and it turned out great.
These are good cooking instructions for an electric oven, but how about for a gas oven? (gas ovens vent and lose temp very quickly).
I made this today and it turned out very well. I am a person who doesn’t like meat real rare, so I roasted it on 390° for the first hour. The second hour, I set the oven at 375°. It came out so great. I did not have fresh herbs, but next time I will.
This recipe is so easy to do because there is not a lot of ingredients and not a lot of prep time.
