While I would love to try just one time…a ribeye or prime beef roast is just not in my budget. Can anyone tell me if I can use same roasting technique for either of these more expensive cuts for a boneless top round roast? Or any type of cheaper cut of roast? Any special tips for tenderizing? Thanks for any help, suggestions or comments.
Thanks, really appreciate this!!

Stir a small quantity of the hot mixture into the
beaten egg yolks, and immediately add egg yolk
mixture to the rest of the hot mixture. Cook for
2 more minutes; remember to keep stirring.

Our Minet Pumpkin Praline Pie
Minet Pumpkin Pie (Bob’s Menu)
(One Each)
Carol’s Old Family Recipe
From CJ and Phil 1970
Dodge City, Kansas
Ingredients:
1 - Cup Sugar
4 - Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 - teaspoon Cinnamon
½ - teaspoon Nutmeg
½ - teaspoon Ginger
- Pinch of Salt
1 - Cup Pumpkin
2 - Egg yolks
2 - Cups ½ and ½ Cream
1/2 cup Texas Pecans
1/4 cup Brown sugar
Preparation:
Mix all ingredients, and slowly bring to a boil,
(being careful not to burn, as it can stick on the bottom)
STIRRING CONSTANTLY, until thick, pour into a pre
baked pie shell and let cool in the refrigerator.
(Oh, yes cover with plastic wrap, when putting into
the refrigerator.) We let the pie cool to room
temperature before putting into the refrigerator.
I think you will enjoy this pie very much.
I have come with a way to make a second pie all
the same except I put a layer of Pecans and 3 or
4 tablespoons of brown sugar in the bottom of the
cooked pie shell then pour the hot mixture over
the nuts and brown sugar. We do both pies for
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We call the second pie “Pumpkin Praline”.
I have never shared this recipe with anyone and
I am now sharing it with you.
