Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Step 2
Remove roast from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 2 hours.

Season roast generously with kosher salt.

Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Step 8
Mix butter, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
Step 9
