Have the beef at room
temperature, and rub it all over with the oil. Put
it on a rack in a roasting pan, fatty side up. Stick
a meat thermometer in it, deep in the center, but
not touching a bone.
Put the roast in the oven, and
immediately turn the heat down to 350°F. Beef
generally takes about 20 minutes per pound to come
out medium-rare, so figure on about 1 hour and 20
minutes to cook this roast. Check that meat
thermometer.
When the thermometer reads between
140° (rare) and 160°F (almost well-done), take it
out, put it on a platter in a warm place, and let it
sit for a bit while you bake the Yorkshire pudding.
