  4. In a large pan, add some oil and warm over medium high heat. Sear the Rotolo on all sides, around 30 minutes.

  5. When done wrap it, seal it and place it in the refrigerator so all the juices will stay in the meat. When cold, slice and serve with a green salad, artichokes hearts, carrots or roasted potatoes.
