For a deeper flavor, consider adding a rub of herbs like rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder before roasting. The resting period in the oven is crucial for tenderizing the meat. Do not skip this step! Always slice the roast against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a horseradish cream sauce.

Dec 2, 2021I accidentally opened the oven door during the resting period, and the roast was still good, but I think it would have been even better if I hadn't opened it.
