The large amount of garlic in this beef roast recipe (2 whole bulbs) becomes mellow with marinating and cooking. You have to plan ahead on this one; the roast marinates for 3 days in the refrigerator. You can replace the brandy with beer or leave it out altogether in a pinch. It give the roast a different flavor, but it’s still delicious.
