I followed the recipe to a tee and found this recipe to be good if you are used to a 3 star steakhouse. I did a second roast and covered it with a mixture of kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and dry thyme. I also set the oven to 550, not 450, for 10 minutes. I then turned the oven down to 225, yes 225 and slow-roasted the prize until the internal temp reached 130. You won't get the carryover cooking at such a low cooking temperature. I loosely tented the roast for about 10 minutes. Again, not as long because of the easy and slow cooking method. Doing this, I got absolutely no gray band around the meat when sliced. Every piece looked exactly the same except the immediate ends. Amazing!
