Step-by-Step Instructions (Oven Roasting at High Temperature)

1. Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
2. Pat the roast dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear.
3. Generously rub with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for even seasoning.
4. Place the roast on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan—this promotes air circulation and even cooking.
5. Roast for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare; adjust time for desired doneness.
6. Remove the roast and tent it with foil; let it rest for at least 15 minutes to redistribute the juices.
7. Carve thin slices against the grain to maximize tenderness.
