Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Step 2

Remove roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to start cooking.

Step 3

Mix pepper, salt, brown sugar, oregano, and paprika together in a small bowl until well combined. Rub seasoning mix all over the roast to completely cover it. Transfer to a roasting pan.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven for 3 hours (45 minutes per pound), until the internal temperature reads exactly 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Increase the oven temperature to 550 degrees F (288 degrees C).

Step 6

Remove foil and put the roast back in the oven until the crust gets crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Cut and serve immediately.
