It's 15 years now I've been married to a man who loves beef. For a long time, though, I was reluctant to cook a roast for fear of ruining a nice cut of meat. Finally, I started buying roasts on sale and experimenting. This bottom round roast recipe was the result... now, my husband doesn't want a roast any other way. -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois
