Ingredients
Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan and allow it to "rest" out of the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the remaining ingredients. Rub the meat surface with olive oil mixture. Place the roast in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the roast begins to brown. This will sear the roast and seal the juices. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue cooking for 15-18 minutes per pound for a boneless roast or 26-32 minutes per pound for a bone-in roast. A meat thermometer is desirable to test the degree of doneness. Remove the roast when the thermometer reads 5 degrees below the desired doneness.
Remove from the oven and allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
