   In a blender, combine the minced garlic with the olive oil, soy sauce, kosher salt, peppercorns and rosemary and process to a paste.

   Roast the meat for about 10 minutes, or until the crust begins to brown.

7. 7

   Transfer the roast to a carving board and let rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
