Although this wouldn't be my favourite way to cook roast beef, it was still very good! I used a meat thermometer to cook a very small (1.5 lb) sirloin tip for hubby & myself - it took 1 1/2 hours for medium-rare. I served the beef with a carrot/turnip combo that I prepared according to Nana Lee's method in recipe #134316 and another English classic - Marie Alice's Roast Potatoes (#918740). I skipped the gravy & Yorkies this time - after all, it was a weeknite, not Sunday! Thanx Molly!

Absolutely delicious Molly! I didn't have a meat thermometer so just went on the weight of the roast. Super easy traditional Sunday Lunch served with Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes and of course, peas. Thank you!

This recipe is nice and easy! My roast turned out really good. The flavoring was just right, not too over-powering.
