I needed a roast for sandwiches too but the beef available wasn't suitable.
Instead I brought home a pork loin. I pretended I was AB. I simply rubbed
it with a lot of black pepper, put it on a rack, Firmly sealed a sheet of
foil beneath the lid of my little roaster and baked it at 400° for about an
hour. A little more for the temp to be safe. I didn't sear, didn't get
creative with seasoning. Ah. Just right for sandwiches. Polly
