Notes

This Cut of meat is mostly cooked during the holidays. It has a nice fatty and juicy taste when seasoned correctly and cooked to your desired temperature. Make sure you let the meat rest a while before slicing. This will let all the inner juices flow back to there normal levels and wont leak out. If you slice it right out of oven the juices will bleed out and will before dry.
