Equipment

  • 1 Roasting pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pound beef shoulder roast
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F.
  • Lightly grease a roasting rack to prevent sticking.
  • Place the roast in the pan and generously season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake according to the cooking and temperature instructions provided below.
  • Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Allow the roast to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a deliciously tender and flavorful result.
