I came across this recipe years ago. It is extremely good. I love to serve it with roasted dill potatoes, a simple salad, Yorkshire pudding (aka: popovers) and Bisto gravy. It is a wonderful Sunday dinner, holidays or one to entertain with. The secret to a tender cut of meat is to let the meat come to room temperature before cooking. Putting cold meat straight to the heat will cause the meat to seize up tight and become tough as shoe leather. Make Ahead The roast beef can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Serve warm or chilled. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
