The absolute best roast beef I ever had was a slow roasted brisket. Not bbq style, just slow roasted. And I got it in a college dorm cafeteria, of all places. I’d like to roast one myself sometime, but even if you just get a point or just a flat, it’s a hefty hunk of meat. Too much for one person.
Still, if I took the time I could figure out how to use leftovers for freezable dishes such as soups or stews.
Omg I don’t fault you in the least for having had a fabulous dining room experience in college! Some of the best breakfasts I have were from weekend brunches at mine! Best made to order egg white omelettes with fresh toppings ever! Pastas too.
