Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut slits into top of roast with a paring knife; place garlic slices into slits. Season roast with black pepper and salt.

Step 3

Place bay leaves in the bottom of a roasting pan; place roast, fat-side up, on top of bay leaves. Combine cider vinegar and thyme in a small bowl; pour over roast.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 3 hours. Baste drippings frequently over roast while cooking using a baster or spoon.

Step 5

Rest roast before slicing, 10 minutes.
