  • Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
  • Rub or spread the garlic butter mixture over the entire roast. Applying a light layer over the bones and sides.
  • Place the bone side down in a cast iron skillet or pan and apply the rest of the mixture over the fat.
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 500 degress ℉. Then turn the heat down to 300 degrees f and cook for 10-12 minutes per pound.
  • Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer after the cooking time, and the roast reaches 10 degrees below your desired doneness.
  • Once out of the oven tent with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes before craving.
  • Transfer to a cutting board, remove the bone, and cut into 1-inch thick slices.

Notes

  • Do not open the oven door for at least one hour after you reduce the oven temperature to 300 ℉ degrees.
  • Keep in mind that you will want to remove it from the oven at 10 degrees below your desired range because the residual heat will continue to cook while the roast rests.
  • Don't rush the resting time. This is important to prevent the roast from being tough and gives the juices time to redistribute into the meat.
