I don't eat red meat, so can't personally speak to the flavor, but I am live-in caregiver to my92 YO dad, and he RAVES when I prepare this for him. He has a huge rosemary patch in the 2.5 acre garden, so I use fresh sprigs & always make sure to tell him that he helped prepare the dish by lovingly planting & caring for that rosemary. (Punchline: he never knew it WAS rosemary, planted it for it's pretty purple blossoms!) Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, @Enderspartan828!
