- Roast for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350°F. Roast for around 50 minutes, or until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
- Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before carving against the grain.

Notes
- Cooking time: For larger roasts, increase the roasting time by 15 minutes per pound.
- Doneness: Please don't cook the roast over 140°F. The carryover heat will take it to medium, which is the ideal level of doneness for this cut of beef.
- Leftovers: Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
