  • Size may vary, so use a meat thermometer for your desired level of doneness.
  • Season either with salt and pepper, steak seasoning (such as Montreal steak seasoning) or with all, depending on seasoning you're using.

  • If you have time, have tails sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes, so tails cook more evenly.

Reverse Sear

  • Roast on rack or baking pan at 240 degrees F. For the last 2-4 minutes put under the broiler or into a frying pan with a pat of butter to sear the outside. This may seem low, but the meat will achieve more of the same level of doneness when roasted low and slow.
  • For Rare: Sear, once center reaches120 F.
    For Medium Rare, sear once center reaches 125 F.
    For Medium, sear once center reaches 130 F.
    Allow to rest for 10 minutes, before slicing.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme.
