Follow the recipe - don't be tempted (as I was) to brown the roast before putting it in the oven. A chunk of demi-glace goes well with the butter at the end for a rich sauce.
I brushed a tbsp. of Kitchen Bouquet over the meat after tying it then added ever so slight bit of steak rub. I cooked it on a rack and followed the instructions in the recipe regarding oven temperature. It was cooked to 125º then I let it sit for 15 minutes before slicing. It turned out a perfect medium rare. I served it with a demi-glace and it was absolutely delicious.
