Preparation

Step 1

1. Let beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season beef all over with salt and pepper. Whisk together butter and mustards, coat beef all over with mixture. Roast on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the upper third of the oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 135 degrees (for rare) to 140 degrees (for medium rare), about 40 minutes (time will vary depending on thickness of cut). Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
