Start by browning well, searing the roast at a higher temperature, up to 450F, for 30 minutes to trap all the juices inside.
Using a meat thermometer - I used mine from my oven for the first time, and it cooked my roast to the perfect doneness.
Keep an eye on the thermometer if you do not have one that connects with your oven.
Purchase a thermometer with a probe to insert into the center of your meat before entering the oven. Do not purchase of use one that requires poking your meat while cooking.
While purchasing your roast, ensure that it is uniform. A flatter roast will cook faster than a thicker one.
Have your roast at room temperature. A colder roast will take longer to cook.
Let it rest after cooking by tending with aluminum foil for 15 to 25 minutes. This process will encapsulate all the juices and your roast will be tender and so rich in flavor.
