Critical Success Points

  • Sear the roast to achieve a nice crust.
  • Observe the roast cooking time according to its weight.
  • Dilute the cornstarch in cold water before adding to the sauce.
  • Reduce the sauce over medium heat without burning.
  • Do not overcook the spinach so it retains its color and texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot cast‑iron Dutch oven with pot holders.
