English Roast Beef

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Carefully spit the meat, ensuring minimal penetration of the prime meat.

  2. Use a bright and clean spit to avoid black stains on the meat.

  3. Position the spit along the bones to leave little or no mark.

  4. If using skewers, load them with lead to balance the meat.
