This recipe a lovely change of pace from the usual platter of beef tenderloin. You will be amazed by how a creamy slather transforms the beef after it gets browned in a skillet. The mixture melds to the meat in with the heat of the oven, forming an amazingly flavorful crust. It makes for a pretty presentation too. This is definitely a dish for company. Steamed asparagus or blanched haricot verts sprinkled with lemon juice and dill would be a simple but elegant side to this superb roast. If you're lucky enough to have leftover beef, it makes the best sandwiches.
