Flip the meat to sear the meat side for 2-3 minutes until it has a nice brown color.

6

Return the meat to the fat side up and season with ground salt, black pepper, and Provence herbs.

7

Place the meat in a transparent Pyrex dish with the fat side on top.

8

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) with top and bottom heat.

Cook the meat in the oven for 16-20 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.

Remove the meat from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes, covered with aluminum foil.

11
