Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt

- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- Continue roasting for about 13-15 minutes per pound for medium-rare, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120-125°F (49-52°C).
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, tented with foil, for 20-30 minutes before carving.
