Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
  2. Trim excess fat from the roast, leaving about 1/4-inch of fat cap for flavor and moisture.
  3. Heat flavorless cooking oil in a large roasting pan or heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the roast fat-side down in the hot oil and sear for 5 minutes until browned.
  5. Turn the roast to sear the sides for 5 minutes each until a crust forms.
  6. Remove the roast from heat and discard any excess fat from the pan.
  7. Generously season all sides of the roast with salt and pepper.
  8. Place the roast in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350ðF (175ðC).
  9. Roast for approximately 12 minutes per pound for medium-rare, or about 2 hours for a 10-lb roast.
  10. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 25 minutes before carving.
  11. Slice against the grain and serve with pan juices or gravy.
