tomatoes around the seared beef and place the pan in the oven. Roast until a meat
thermometer reads 130 degrees F. for medium rare, 135 for medium, about 30 to 40
minutes. Take the roast out of the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for
10 to 15 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat should rise 5 degrees F
more and the juices will redistribute into the roast.

To make the sauce, place the parsley and garlic in a food processor and pulse
until the parsley is finely chopped. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, red wine
vinegar and the roasted tomatoes from the beef pan and process until pureed. Add
the olive oil in a steady stream with the machine running.

To serve, slice the roast and place on a serving platter. Drizzle a little sauce
over the meat. Serve the remaining sauce in a small bowl alongside.
