I found this recipe a long time ago, and haven't found any better way to prepare roast beef. Done correctly, this recipe results in a perfectly cooked roast.

This meat came out of the oven cooked to absolute perfection!  It was the prefect doneness for us, although it may be on the rare-side for some.  We were SOOOO tempted to open the oven, but we resisted and were rewarded for our patience.
