- 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
- 2 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp. freshly grated lemon peel

- 2 tsp. coarse grind black pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine paste ingredients; press evenly onto beef roast.
Place roast, fat side up, in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef, not resting in fat or touching bone. DO NOT add water or cover.
Roast in 350°F oven 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours for medium rare; 2-3/4 to 3 hours for medium doneness.
Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F.) Carve roast into slices.
