Preparation

Step 1

Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast, and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325°F, and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes (15 minutes per pound). The internal temperature of the roast should be at 135°F for medium rare.

Allow the roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.

***12 mins at 450° and 8 mins at 400° and then 15 mins per pound at 325 and then took it out and covered for 15 minutes. Each piece of roast was the perfect shade of pink on the inside and a bit less pink on the outsides. Even the end pieces were juicy and perfect. The roast melted in our mouths. It was a 4.5 lb roast for 2 people.
