  • 4 1/2 cups Vegetable Stock
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)

  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  3. Rub about 2 tablespoons of the spice mix onto the meat and chill for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  4. Sear the meat on the grill or in a heavy pan on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Finish the meat in the oven, cooking until the internal temperature registers 140 to 145° F on a meat thermometer, about 15 minutes. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
