This is a very simple and easy recipe for those that want a no fuss weekend lunch or dinner.  The weight of the roast will depend on how many people to feed and the science here is not in the ingredients but in the methodology.  So you can adjust the ingredients as you please but try out this new approach and see how succulent your roast will be for those chill weekend days.

Tips/notes:

• You can add pomegranate molasses to add a tangy flavour instead of the soy sauce.
• You can also substitute dried thyme for dried oregano
