Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can judge the doneness of the roast by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the meat. If the juices run clear, the roast is done.
• Let the roast rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, which will make the meat more tender.
• Serve the roast with your favorite sauces and condiments. Some popular options include horseradish sauce, barbecue sauce, and chimichurri.
