Flour it and brown it. Put some crushed garlic on it, a couple of cloves. Drizzle honey over the surface. Then put lemon juice over the honey, one lemon if the roast is small, two if it is large. A bit of salt and pepper. Put about a cup of beef broth in. Put in a goodly number of smallish whole onions. Cook it, covered, on a low heat till the meat is thoroughly subdued ( by which time the onions should be heavenly ). There should be a very nice bit of gravy-ish sauce when you are done. Keep an eye on it, and make sure it does not go dry. A little paprika in the flour does not go amiss, either, and if you like ginger, a little goes well with this also.

Good to see you Mag. Ginger's a good idea. Some are leery but a bit does well, especially with beef. pinto Nov 2013 #8
