    This must be the same as what my aunt brings to big parties of more that 100 people. She called it steam boat, she pre ordered the meat from navy exchange, Time to call her and express my gratitude for her generosity and learn her way of cooking it before its too late.

    I've got to admit, cooking at 500F is a tenuous experience, especially Christmas dinner. I decided to try your recipe with a big 28 pound whole top round. I trimmed the top fat cap and silver skin. I then tied the round across the two muscles about every two inches. I then laid the fat trimmings back across the roast to self baste. I did add a lot of garlic into the roast.

    Tomorrow, at dinner, I'll remove the fat, season the top and re-roast. Got everything riding on this!

    Question - will this work for whole back legs? I'm doing 2 at the same time. I'm guessing the legs will weigh about 40 pounds each, but he is still walking around.

    I believe if you check more closely, "steam ship round" is used either for a 3 pound or larger roast up to one (or more) large enough to feed an entire wedding reception. Either way, this recipe works. To become obsessive over a name seems rather silly.

    This looks like a great recipe; however I was doing a search on steamship round, the kind hotels use in buffets and for events. Recipes that feed 50 to 300. Yours did not help in that regard and should have it's name changed!

    I have been looking for this recipe for 20 years! My mother used to make roast this way and when I asked her for the recipe, she had absolutely no recollection of cooking a roast in this fashion. All I remember is that it came out perfectly each and every time! My mother thinks I fabricated the recipe in my feeble mind!
