      FAQs:

      Can I use a different cut of grass-fed beef for this recipe?
      Yes, you can use other lean roasts like top round, eye of round, or sirloin tip roast. Adjust roasting time based on thickness and weight of the roast.

      What is oven roasting?
      Oven roasting is a dry-heat cooking method that uses (you guessed it) an oven with indirect, ambient heat.

      Does the roast need to be covered as it cooks?
      No, follow the recipe directions closely. Cook the roast uncovered to allow browning and to develop a flavorful crust.

      What’s the best way to slice a roast?
      First, let the meat rest; this step keeps the juices and flavors locked in. Then you’ll want to slice against the grain with a sharp knife or electric slicer into thin, even slices for the most tender pieces.
