Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of beef or chicken broth
  • ½ cup of melted butter
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven:
    Preheat your oven to 110°C (225°F).
  • Prepare your meat:
    Rinse your meat and pat it dry with paper towels.
    Season it with salt and pepper.
  • Mix your basting ingredients:
    In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, broth, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • Baste your meat:
    Using a basting brush or basting spoon, generously coat the roast with the basting mixture.
    Make sure to get the mixture into all the nooks and crannies of the meat.
  • Roast your meat:
    Place the meat in a roasting pan and roast it in the preheated oven.
    The size and shape of your roast makes a difference in cooking time.
    As a general rule of thumb, at 110°C (225°F), cook your roast for about 30 minutes per 450 grams/pound,
  • Baste your meat again:
    Every 15 - 20 minutes or so, remove the meat from the oven and baste it with the remaining basting mixture.
    This will help keep the chicken moist and flavourful.
  • Let your meat rest:
    Once the roast is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
    This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and juicy.
  • Serve and enjoy:
    Carve and serve it with your favourite sides.
    Enjoy your deliciously basted roast!
