Instructions
Calculate the cooking time using the chart in the notes section.
Preheat oven to 500°℉.
Cut the bones if you prefer. Season with salt, pepper, olive oil and any herbs.
Place the roast on top of the bones in the roasting pan and place in oven to cook for 15 minutes at 500°℉. (uncovered)
After 15 minutes reduce oven to 325 degrees. Using a thermometer check the roast in half way through cooking time and then every half hour thereafter.
Once it has reached the internal temperature you desire, remove from oven and let rest for 30 minutes.
Gravy
While the roast is resting, warm up one cup of water in a small saucepan, add a beef bouillon cube and some pan drippings. Bring to just about boiling. In a small cup add the starch and a little bit of water just to create a runny paste. Add starch mixture and bring to boil until mixture thickens to your liking.
Serve gravy with roast.
