- Remove the roast from the fridge and take off the plastic wrap.

- Heat a few tablespoons of healthy cooking fat or oil in a heavy skillet over high heat.
- Sear the roast on all sides until a golden crust forms, about 1 minute per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake uncovered for about 12 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F to 160°F based on desired doneness.
- Once cooked, return the roast to the rimmed plate or baking dish and place it in the refrigerator uncovered to cool.
- After about an hour, cover the roast with plastic film and let it cool completely overnight.
- On the third day, transfer the chilled roast to a cutting board, remove the twine, and carve it as thinly as possible.
