- Securely tie beef broth lengthwise and crosswise with string. If chilled, bring to room temperature before cooking.
- Combine broth, onion, carrot, celery and turnip in large stockpot with side handles. Boil vigorously 30 minutes.
- Tie meat to handles, suspending as closely as possible to broth without actually touching. Cover tightly and let steam until meat thermometer registers 120 F (rare), about 18 to 20 minutes.
- Slip large fork under wrapping strings, then remove meat to platter. Cut strings holding meat. Let rest 5 minutes before carving, do not remove strings around meat until after it has been carved.
- Slice thinly, allowing 2 to 3 slices per serving or cut into 8 thicker slices. Save juices to moisten each portion. Reassemble slices, wrap with foil and keep warm but serve as soon as possible.
- Garnish each serving with shallots and accompany with sauce Moutarde-Batarde or red pepper jelly or broth.
