"Kentucky Roast is basically like slow cooking without a slow cooker. Beef, coated in sweet, spicy, and savory seasonings and sauces, gets roasted in the oven until fall-apart tender and succulent. It sounds too good to be true, and yet somehow it tastes even better than that! The Bluegrass State certainly delivers a masterpiece of powerful meaty goodness with this Kentucky Roast!..."
