1

In bowl, mix together maple sugar, mustard, garlic, peppercorns and salt. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in shallow foil-lined roasting pan. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer into center of roast, avoiding fat or bone. Smear maple sugar mixture all over roast.

2

Oven sear beef by placing in 450°F (230°C) oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 275°F (140°C) and cook until thermometer reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, about 1-1/2 hours. Remove from oven.

3

Place roast on cutting board, cover with foil and let stand for least 15 minutes. Reserve approx. 8 oz (250 g) of rare roast beef to make the Beef Wrapped Maple Parsnip Bites (should be enough for 40 super-thin slices of rare-roast beef).
