Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove roast from refrigerator and place in a shallow open roasting pan. Sprinkle with flour and rub into the meat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over the top of the roast. Place in an extremely hot 500 degree oven. Roast for 8 minutes per pound for rare.
When roasting time is up, turn off oven heat. Do not open oven door. Let roast remain in the oven at least 1 hour. Standing time and individual oven differences will determine degree of rareness in center of roast.
Serves 6.
