“This is a mouth watering tender roast with vegetables and a great gravy that gives a fantastic presentation for a dinner party sure to please the boss, or for a family News Years Eve dinner. It slow cooks once browned, so you can be straightening up the house while it simmers. You can get the boneless shoulder roast and roll it very tightly yourself and tie it several times with butcher string. Sometimes if you explain to the butcher, they will do it for you. Great served with fresh steamed asparagus or green bean spears.” - by HSTR

"I have tried this recipe twice. Once with pork, and the second time I splirged and used the veal. I want to try it next with regular beef. It is a great recipe! the meat was so tender! My husband w..." See moreent nuts over this. He was putting the gravy in his plate and using bread to dip in it. I served it using the veal to some friends of ours with a nice salad and inexpensive wine, they told me that was one of the best dinners they have had and asked for this recipe. Try this recipe -- you will love it!"
