Preparations:
If roast has not been wet aged, place the frozen roast in its packaging on a plate and place in the back of your refrigerator. Allow roast to wet age for two weeks, turning roast over every 3 days.
Remove wet aged roast from the package in a clean sink and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels, and place on a platter.
Mix olive oil and seasonings together in your roasting pan. Add the roast and rub the seasonings into the roast. Cover and let roast rest at room temperature for two hours before cooking.
Cooking Options:
Method One – Hot & High Then Low & Slow
Preheat oven to 500°.
Place roast in a heavy roasting pan and place in the oven for 13 minutes (or about 4.5 minutes per pound). Reduce the heat to 475°.
After 13 minutes, shut the oven off and leave the roast in the oven for two hours. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
Remove the roast from oven and place on a cutting board or platter. Slice the roast thin on the bias, keeping slices tightly together. (Optional for re-heating: Transfer the sliced roast onto a baking sheet and place in a 500° pre-heated oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
Place the roasting pan with the juices on stove top over medium high heat. Stir in stock and wine, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and allow au jus to reduce to about 1 cup. Whisk in butter and season to taste.
Serve the sliced roast with hot au jus.
Method Two: Low & Slow
Pre-heat oven to 210°.
Place roast in a heavy roasting pan and place in pre-heated oven. Roast at 210° for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 190° and continue to roast for 5 hours.
Remove roast from oven and place on a cutting board or platter, cover with foil and allow the roast to rest for about 10 minutes.
While the roast is resting, place roasting pan on stove top over medium high heat. Stir in stock and wine, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and allow au jus to reduce to about 1 cup. Whisk in butter and season to taste.
While au jus is reducing, slice roast thin on the bias. Serve and pass with au jus.
Method Three: Sear & Indirect Heat for Gas or Char Grill
Heat char grill or get coals in grill very hot, 500° +.
Place roast on top of the hottest part of the grill and sear the roast for 3 minutes. Turn the roast two additional times searing each not-grilled side for 3 additional minutes.
If using a gas grill, turn the left and the right burners to low, keeping the roast in between and away from the heat sources. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the roast, and close the grill lid. Continue to roast for one hour or until meat thermometer registers 135°, for medium rare. If using a char grill, push coals around to one side. Place the roast on opposite side of heat, and cover with the grill lid. Continue to roast for 1 hour or until meat thermometer registers 135° for medium rare, rotating once during the cooking time.
Remove roast from the grill and transfer to platter and slice thin on the bias.
