There was no dilemma in this omnivore’s delight: Roast beef is the ultimate joy, a universal fondness for red meat!
Back when my blog The Golden Dish appeared on Mainetoday.com I ran a series on beef, which delved into the return of the classic butcher shop, where to buy the best beef, and which, according to area butchers, was the best cut of beef to buy for roasting. Readers are still clicking on those articles in amazing numbers.
So I’ve decided to follow my own advice and to offer here the roast that I favored the most. It wasn’t one of the more traditional cuts like tenderloin, prime rib or various cuts of round, rump or strip. Instead it’s a cut that I devised when I asked the butcher at Bisson’s in Topsham to carve a roast out of a top sirloin.
