Preparation

  1. Sprinkle the roast with the salt and pepper.
  2. Melt the butter in a heavy ovenproof saucepan or skillet. Add the roast and cook it over medium-to-low heat on top of the stove for 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is brown on all sides.
  3. Place in a preheated 425-degree oven. After 30 minutes, add the water and cook for 10 additional minutes. By then, the juices will have melted and a natural sauce formed.
  4. Let the roast stand for approximately 15 minutes to allow the meat to relax.
  5. At serving time, slice the roast and arrange a few slices on each of six plates. Spoon some of the natural juices over the meat and garnish each serving with a few glazed onions and two or three potato savonnettes.
