Step 1: Begin with a room temperature roast

Remove the roast from the fridge about an hour before cooking so it comes to room temperature.

Step 2: Trim the fat

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim any fat that's thicker than a half-inch. Leave the rest; it will help keep the beef moist.

Step 3: Season the beef

Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the entire roast, according to taste.

Step 4: Heat the skillet

Heat the olive oil and garlic in a Dutch oven or a deep skillet.

Step 5: Brown the meat

Brown the entire roast -- about four minutes per side -- then transfer it, fat-side up, to a roasting pan with a rack on the bottom. Put it in the oven.

Step 6: Take its temperature

Check the roast with a meat thermometer after it's been roasting for approximately 70 minutes. Continue checking once every 10 minutes until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 130.

Tip

Let it roast longer if you want the meat cooked beyond medium rare.

Step 7: Transfer it to a tray

Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest 20 minutes before carving. A 6-pound roast will provide about 24 3-ounce servings. Enjoy!
