Roastbeef all'ItalianaRoast beef is the ultimate dinner, so elegant and delicious. A great meal reserved for the weekends when you have time to cook this slow tender roast. Before cooking always allow roast to warm up to room temperature. After cooking let rest 15 minutes before carving. I use the round tip roast you could use a rump roast, or sirloin tip. Served with mashed potatoes, gravy and those sweet balsamic carrots with pine nuts. Tomorrow we will have great roast beef sandwiches on our picnic!

I love roast beef, this looks like a great version. I'm intrigued by those carrots too.
