Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, combine salt, mustard, black pepper, garlic, onion powder, thyme, oregano, coriander and celery seeds. Set aside 1/4 cup. (Transfer the remaining mixture to small jar or plastic bag. Seal; store in cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Stir or shake before using.)

2. Rub oil over meat. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup dry rub evenly over meat; rub in with your fingers. Make six 1-inch by 1/2-inch knife slits into the fat side (the slits allow the seasoning to penetrate into the meat).* Place meat, fat side up, in a large roasting pan. Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into center without touching bones.

3. Roast beef in a 350 degrees oven for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours for medium-rare (135 degrees) or 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours for medium (150 degrees). Roast pork in a 325 degrees. oven for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 hours for medium (150 degrees).

4. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The temperature of the meat will rise 5 to 10 degrees during standing.) Serves 12.

Tip * At this point, you can cover the meat loosely with plastic wrap and chill up to 24 hours before roasting.
