Directions:

1

Remove the beef from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before roasting

2

Set a roasting pan on the lowest oven rack; preheat the oven to 425 degrees F

3

Using a paring knife, make deep slits all over the roast and between each of the ribs; insert a garlic sliver into each slit and poke it just beneath the surface

4

Grind 2 tablespoons salt, the peppercorns, rosemary and bay leaves in a spice grinder (or crush and finely chop with a knife)

5

Combine with the olive oil and rub all over the roast

6

Carefully place the roast in the hot roasting pan fat-side up (bones on the bottom)

7

Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120 degrees F for medium rare, 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours

8

Transfer the roast to a platter or cutting board, tent loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving
