Marinated over Fri. night,and made for Sat. night supper last night. We really enjoyed this one.A good piece of rare beef is one of my favorite things.I used fresh rosemary,thyme,and parsley. Thanks for sharing a great recipe ElaineAnn, we really enjoyed it.I served it with a green garden salad,beer-dill seared carrots,garlic mashed potatoes,and French bread.What a great meal.(The overnight wait time was hard! Each time I opened my fridge and saw it in a plastic-wrap covered dish, my mouth would start to water in anticipation!)
