Instructions:
- 2- to 4-pound roast (round or standing rib with ribs removed)

- Insert peeled garlic segments into slits in roast.
- Place in a 500 degree F oven and sear for 20 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Reduce temperature to 300 degrees F and continue roasting until beef is cooked according to taste: allow 16 minutes cooking time per pound for a rare roast, 22 minutes per pound for a medium roast, and 30 minutes per pound for a well done roast.
