I think Cook's Illustrated had an article in its January/February issue about how to roast this and have it turn out tender. I tried roasting it conventionally and found it TOUGH. Their method seemed to make sense. You have to be a member to read the whole recipe, though. I recall they sliced it very thinly after resting.

Thanks Mezz. I ended up doing it in a salt crust, I've done all sorts of different things even confit.

I like the flavor of that cut, and the leanness, but it is a challenge finding a great way to cook it. I'll check out the cook's illustrated link you posted.
