There are various methods: the one I prefer is to preheat the
oven to 500-odd, throw the meat in, turn the oven off, and forget
it. Others recommend searing the meat on top of the stove and
then putting it in a 140-150 oven for an arbitrary length of
time, at least overnight - this was the Heston Blumenthal recipe
that Ian used when we were in France a year ago.

The cheaper cuts do better slow roasted; the better cuts do
equally well both ways.

Fogo de Chao is considered classier, but I'm not sure it's
any better than Green Field.

As I recall, the dim sum place was across the walk from the
meat place. I don't know what was going on there, as one
pays as one goes; at the meat place you can understand, as
every extra bite you take is a coin out of the owner's pocket.
