1. 1

   Score roast in a diamond pattern, making cuts about 1/4-inch deep in fat. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.

   Place roast, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer in roast, if desired.

3. 3

   Bake roast, uncovered, at 450u00b0 for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 300u00b0, and continue baking until desired degree of doneness: about 2 1/2 hours or 140u00b0 (rare); about 3 1/2 hours or 160u00b0 (medium).

4. 4

   Transfer roast to a warm platter, reserving 1/4 cup clear pan drippings for Individual Yorkshire Puddings. Let roast stand 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with Individual Yorkshire Puddings.
