Step 1

Remove roast from fridge an hour and a half before beginning preparation. Preheat oven to 450°F with the rack in the middle position. Cut small holes into the outside of the roast and insert a slice of garlic in each. Place prepared herbs, salt, pepper and oil into a small bowl and stir together to form a paste. Rub paste evenly over the outside of roast before placing it, fat side up, on a wire rack positioned in a roasting pan. Place roast in oven for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325°F and cook to desired doneness using a meat thermometer. Remove from oven and cover loosely with tinfoil for 10 minutes. Slice roast and serve immediately with desired side dishes.
