I'll tell you what sounds good...  Dry rub and sear over coals to get good color and caramelization, smoke it low and slow for a couple of hours and then put it in foil with beef broth.  It won't end up with bark but it'll taste fantastic i bet.

Brining limits itself to pork and poultry i believe. Not beef.
