• 1 teaspoon peppercorn, freshly ground
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 (10 ounce) cans beef consomme, cold

2. Turn oven off. DO NOT OPEN oven door.
3. Very important for good results!
4. I always sealed the oven door with tape to make sure the boys did not accidentally open it.
5. An hour before serving, turn oven to 350* and roast meat 45 minutes more.
6. Remove from oven and let rest on counter top for 20 minutes before carving.
7. Bring pan juices to a boil, add consomme and heat.
8. Jus can be thickened it a bit with Veloutine*.
9. Tips:Serve with deep brown potatoes and a vegetable of your choice. Extra "jus" and horseradish as accompaniments make the meal sublime.
10. For a 10 pound roast, increase second cooking period to 1 hour.
11. *Veloutine is an Instant Thickener made by Knorr.
