      Hi Leslie, first you’ll want to slice off the bones and then you’ll cut the roast into slices. Here’s a quick youtube that shows how to cut the bones off (you just slice them off – but it’s easier to explain with a visual): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxDfwz7HvH8. Also: in that video she slices the roast thin like deli meat. We tend to slice ours much thicker (1/4″ or 1/2″ slices, or even a little thicker)!
