Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Place steak on rack in shallow roasting pan. Do not cover or add water.
Roast for 50 to 60 minutes or 16 to 20 minutes per pound. Remove when thermometer in center reads 135ºF for medium rare.
Meanwhile, combine maple syrup, cider vinegar, mustard and pepper in a glass measuring cup.
Microwave glaze on high for 3-1/2 to 5 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Brush glaze over top and sides of steaks.

Carve into thick slices.

Serving Suggestion:
Serve with wild rice with fruit and toasted pecans, steamed broccoli, and cherry or cranberry salad.
Tip: Whole tenderloin can be used in place of the sirloin.
