Place the roast fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan.

Roast for 15 minutes at high heat to sear the exterior, then reduce temperature to 325°F (160°C) and cook for about 1½–2 hours or until internal temperature reaches:

  • 120°F (49°C) for rare

  • 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare

  • 140°F (60°C) for medium

  1. Rest:

Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20–30 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.
