When we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas, one particular part interested us at the end—the part where the Whos eat ROAST BEAST! We wondered what a roast beast might taste like, so we decided to make one ourselves. The biggest beast we could roast was a cow, so this is a beef roast recipe.
We felt more like dinosaurs than Whos when there was a big chunk of meat on our table to dig into!
