2-3 hours before you want to begin cooking, take the roast out of the fridge and place it on a cutting board at room temperature

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F

To prepare roast, remove excess fat from the bottom of the roast, and then trim the layer of fat from the top side (leaving a little fat is fine)

In a bowl, mix the garlic and chopped herbs with salt and pepper

Add the olive oil and mix until combined

Evenly apply garlic herb rub on all sides of the roast

Tie roast with string and insert a bay leaf underneath each string across the top

Roast until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 1/2 hours

If you prefer medium, take the roast out when the thermometer reads 130 degrees F

Let roast rest for 10 minutes before carving
