At the end of the 50 minutes of cooking time, I was pretty sure my roast was overcooked as we like our meat medium-rare. I was also unsure of the honey and butter on the beef but followed the instructions. By the time my vegetables were done, it was closer to 45 minutes since the roast came out of the oven. My only dislike with this recipe was that the meat was no longer hot so I wondered if some of the cooking of the vegetables and meat could be combined? Either way, a great recipe.

I used 5 sprigs of rosemary total, and found that to be sufficient. While the roast is in the oven at the high heat, it does sizzle quite a bit. I just ignored the sound (since I did not see any flames), and let the roast, uh, roast. Have the vegetables prepared to cook before taking the meat out of the oven. This makes the whole process stress free.
