I want to start making roasts not only for great dinners but also for the leftovers that 0% of my current meal line-ups produce (I'm a per-portion cook you could say). My first attempt at a roast was pretty dismal. I'm thinking because I cut it wrong and it ended up VERY tough to chew despite being very moist and pink.

What are your favorite roast recipes? I could really use a nice end-of-week meal to add to the current "easy" lineup I have of striploin steaks, rubbed chicken breast, burgers and sausages I normally grill.

Do you have a family favorite or weekly staple you couldn't live without? I'd love to hear it.

A big chuck roast cooked low and slow until it gets to an internal of 205* is one of my favorites. I pull it and use for pulled beef sandwiches.

A standing rib roast, rubbed with evoo, rosemary, garlic, s & p is top's on my list for a 'roasted' roast.

I recently did a sirloin tip roast seasoned similar to the rib roast and then sliced it thin for sandwiches. I thought I'd be freezing leftovers, but we finished it off in a week.

I season, let stand til room temp, sear, and then roast until 125* internal.
