   Rub the herb mixture all over that gorgeous hunk o meat.

10. 10
    If you have a rack to fit your roasting pan, put it in.

    I use celery sticks for my roasts.
12. 12
    Sometimes I go nuts and use carrots, too.

    That is just the way I roll.
14. 14
    4.
15. 15
    Put roast into a 300 degrees F oven and cook it for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
16. 16
    You should check the temperature.
17. 17
    For a medium done roast it should come out when it says 120 degrees F. You must cover it and let it sit for 20 minutes.
18. 18
    This lets the juices spread back out throughout the meat so it doesnt just pour out all over your counter.
19. 19
    The meat will also finish cooking and will end up at medium.
20. 20
    (Ours comes out at 117 degrees F for a rare roast.)

    You can deglaze the pan with some red wine and butter if you like and pour this over the sliced meat.

    I use the leftovers the next morning in a prime rib potato hash.
