2.          Bake uncovered  at 325*  for 2 hours  or until meat reaches the desired doneness  (for medium-rare , a thermometer  should read 145* ; medium , 160* , well-done , 170*)

Your family or dinner guests are delighted when they see   this fancy roast placed on the table . It's a fuss-free favorite - I like to serve it with roasted potatoes .
