Cooking
Beef is outstanding grilled.
Oven method: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beef on rack in large baking pan and bake 10 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 400 degrees and continue baking to desired doneness (18 to 20 minutes per pound for medium rare). Remove beef from oven and let cool. Wrap with foil and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, slice beef thinly and arrange on platter.
