Hi Michel   1/20/08 4:22 PM

RH> I can't make anything perfect--it can be almost but there's 
rh-> usually at least one flaw to it.

ml-> That's my point. Imperfection is involuntary, and to imagine
ml-> otherwise shows a mindset that isn't in itself as humble as
ml-> it would like to be.

Maybe the mindset is to be sure and remain humble even if a random 
throw of the dice produces perfection ... ala the typing monkey's
Shakespeare?

Or if one faithfully followed the guidance of The Texas Beef Council.

           - Beef Roasting Tips -
 
  1. Preheat oven to specified temperature and move rack so roast is
  positioned in center of oven.
  
  2. Season with herbs or spices either before or after cooking, if
  desired.
  
  3. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan.
  
  4. Do not add water and do not cover. 5.Follow guidelines in the
  roasting timetable, and check doneness with a meat thermometer
  inserted in center. 6.Allow roast to stand tented with foil 15
  minutes before carving.
  
  Beef roasts come in all sizes. Ask your butcher to cut the size roast
  for your specific need. Use the Beef Roasting Timetable to determine
  recommended cookery guidelines and the amount to purchase for the size
  of your crowd.

I guess one could ensure imperfection by seasoning with herbs or spices
<during> cooking, or by removing the Med-Rare at 134 F.
