Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Make sure roast is at room temperature. Tie roast at 3-inch intervals with cotton twine; this helps it from drying out and allows it to cook more evenly. Place roast on a rack in a baking pan.
Step 3
Mix together salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture into the meat.
Step 4
Place in the preheated oven and roast for 60 minutes, or 20 minutes per pound if your roast is larger or smaller. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 120 to 125 degrees F (49 to 52 degrees C).
Step 5
Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil, and let rest so juices can redistribute, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 6
Slice and serve.
