Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees (Be sure your oven is VERY clean).

Place the beef on a sheet pan and pat the outside dry with a paper towel. Spread the unsalted butter all over the beef with your hands. Sprinkle the beef evenly with salt and pepper. Roast for exactly 22 minutes for rare and 25 minutes for medium-rare.

Remove the beef from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove the strings and slice the beef about 1/4-inch thick.

Split the baguettes lengthwise but not all the way through. Spread the bottom halves generously with the truffle butter. Top with a layer of sliced beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into thin shards over the sliced beef on each sandwich. Finish with the arugula leaves. Fold the tops of the sandwiches over, and cut each baguette diagonally into 3 or 4 sandwiches and serve right away.
