Doneness
Pull at 120 °F (49 °C) internal for medium-rare — the temperature climbs another 5–10 °F while it rests. The crust should be deeply browned and the juices rosy; a gray, dry exterior means it went too long or too hot.
Oil & seasoning
No spray needed — coat the surface with a little oil or softened butter to help the seasoning crust form.
Season with: kosher salt, coarse black pepper, garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme.
Watch out for
- Use a meat thermometer — roast thickness varies too much to time by the clock alone.
- Rest the roast at least 15 minutes before carving so the juices redistribute.
- Bring it to room temperature before cooking, or the center stays underdone while the outside overcooks.
- Carve against the grain into even slices.
