I made this for my Christmas appetizer. It was delicious! My mom (and her discerning palate) happily munched on this and wanted to take some home with her. This is a very good sign! Will use this recipe again!

I bought a meat thermometer (just in case) and ended up misreading it with my dim oven light. I was a little disappointed when my roast did not seem very brown, but that was probably my fault, I forgot to adjust my rack before putting the roast in to the hot oven. I should have waited a little while to ensure that it was still 500 degrees! Even with my thermometer goof and the rack goof--it came out great. It was the best beef I have ever had. I have always like steak, because I can attempt to have it medium rare. But I had never tried anything like this. I made it for Christmas dinner yesterday--and my husband and parents loved it. It is truly idiot proof! I demonstrated that. Mine was 3.49 lbs and I roasted it on high heat for 24.5 minutes, then turned it down to 200 for 70 minutes (20 minutes per pound)! Will make this again!

I made this for Christmas dinner yesterday. I have never tried one of these in a restaurant or any other setting, so I am not sure it came out right. However, I love how rich and darkly chocolate each bite was!
