I didn't follow the recipe exactly, I'm not sure anyone ever does! I didn't freeze the head so I had to put it in the steamer and I over steamed it which made it difficult to wrap the stuffing into I followed it pretty closely other than I used a large can of crushed seasoned Tomatoes putting some in with the beef and rice filling and some in the pan and on top of the Cabbage for moisture. I'm not particularly fond of this dish but my family ended up and had many compliments!
my roast was almost 3 lb so I seasoned it put it in the pan and roasted it at 500 for the 7 minutes per pound and left it in there untouched for an additional two and a half hours. At the end of that time I removed it and it was a little less than lukewarm and I would call it rare! being as I was counting on that for dinner I had to Nuke it luckily it was a good piece of meat and still quite tasty but certainly not tender. this recipe just didn't work for me, I'm sure I just did something wrong, that seems to happen more and more over 50!
I did make one change I added a little extra garlic powder, I didn't have enough time to chop garlic for this one,but that would have been my preference! It was absolutely wonderful and it went over very well :-)
