Instructions
- Preheat the oven to about 350°F (170°C), the smaller the roast, the higher the temperature.
- Bring out the meat ahead. Cold meat may take about 30 minutes more to cook and risk being unevenly cooked.
- Mix apple sauce, soy sauce and spices and brush or rub on to the roast. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
- Place in a baking dish on lower rack. Roast until the inner temperature is about 165°F (75°C). This will take about 1 ½ hrs. Add water towards the end.
- Remove the roast and let sit for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to cut.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Strain the juices and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce by a third or half for a few minutes on high heat.
- Add the cream and let simmer for another 10–15 minutes on medium high, or until you think it's done. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Trim the cauliflower and divide into small florets. Fry on medium heat in butter for 10-15 minutes. Salt and pepper.
- Slice the roast into ¼ inch (½ cm) thick slices and serve with the sauce and butter-fried cauliflower or other side dish of your choice.
