Sand the wood prior to applying Polycrylicâ¢. Before the final sanding, moisten the wood with a rag or sponge dipped in water. Allow the wood to dry, then sand off the raised grain with #220 sandpaper. After wiping off the dust, apply Polycrylicâ¢.
Pot roast isn't really a specific recipe or cut of meat, it's more of a method: Take a big cut of tough beef, brown it if you can, then cover and slow cook it with aromatics and liquid (stock, broth, wine, or water) until meltingly tender.
Whatever it is called, it is the cut of meat opposite the tenderloin on a short loin. Picture a porterhouse â thatâs a cross cut of the short loin. On one side of the T bone is the tenderloin, on the other is the New York strip steak. New York strip is one of my favorite cuts of beef; tender, full of flavor, and well marbled with fat. I often use it for steaks, but Iâve never cooked it as a roast before. I used my standard rotisserie roast technique; salt early (at least 2 hours before cooking), go simple (only salt and pepper), let the rotisserie work its magic (amazing browned crust in 45 minutes).
