    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    I saved this from the forum and have cooked it 3-4 times. Easy. 

    Season as you wish. I've used simple salt and pepper and I've used Dizzy Cow Lick. 

    You don't need a slicer thought it would be nice. 

    ----------

    I put salt and pepper, let sit for 5 mins, then Dizzy Pig Red Eye or DP Cow Lick - as much as will stick.  I do this right before cooking.

    Cook it indirect at 225'ish to 120-122F internal followed by  then a 10-15 min rest.  I then slice thin on the slicer and put on a roll with horseradish.  It is very lean, so do not overcook. If you like well done beef, choose a different cut.

    If using smoke, I use some oak and cherry.  Cooks fairly fast. should not take more than 2 hrs, and more like 1.5
