Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Bring the roast to room temperature by taking it out of the fridge about 2 hours before cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil, salt, pepper, and mustard (if using).
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels and rub the garlic herb mixture all over it, ensuring every inch is covered.
Cooking
- Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting, typically about 15-20 minutes per pound.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
- Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
This roast pairs well with sides like creamy mashed potatoes and rich gravy. Experiment with different herbs or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Can be made vegan with a seasoned cauliflower roast.
