Minute
roast

The Minute Roast is a smaller shoulder cut that’s naturally tender and full of flavor. Running through the center is a strip of connective tissue that breaks down during long cooking, adding moisture and richness. Its name can be misleading. It’s not cooked in minutes, but it can be portioned into split roasts for quicker grilling. Braised whole, it yields a soft, juicy roast that slices beautifully for serving.

Character

Naturally tender with a distinctive strip of connective tissue that enriches the meat as it cooks

Occasion

A flexible cut, impressive enough for the Shabbos table when roasted whole, but also practical for smaller meals if split and grilled
