Avoid thawing at room temperature, as it can lead to uneven cooking and bacterial growth.
2.2 Bringing to Room Temperature
Remove the roast from the refrigerator about 2 hours before cooking.
This ensures even cooking from edge to center.
2.3 Trimming
Trim excess fat to about ¼ inch thickness.
Leave a thin fat cap to enhance flavor and create a golden crust.
3. Seasoning the Roast
Seasoning is critical to flavor. A simple rub is often best:
3.1 Classic Seasoning Rub
2–3 tablespoons kosher salt
1–2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1–2 teaspoons garlic powder
