Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Remove the roast from the fridge two hours before cooking to bring it closer to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prepare a large roasting pan by placing a roasting rack inside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the room temperature unsalted butter, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, and thyme leaves.
- Cut about 1-inch deep slits all around the roast, making approximately 10 to 15 half-inch deep slits.
- Generously cover the roast with the butter mixture, ensuring the slits are well-stuffed.
Cooking
- Place the prepared roast on the rack in the roasting pan.
- Roast at 450°F for the first 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue to roast for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes to 1 hour and 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board or serving platter.
- Wrap the roast loosely in aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 30 to 45 minutes before carving.
Serving
- Carve the roast against the grain to ensure tender slices.
- Serve with sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- Drizzle pan juices over the slices and provide horseradish sauce or gravy on the side.
Notes
Experiment with herbs and spices to personalize the butter mixture. Always use a meat thermometer for best results.
