I used a kosher salt, mustard seed, rosemary and thyme crust (chopped and blended with 1 tablespoon of olive oil). You could also wrap the roast in herbs or add some extra fat, in the form of, say, pancetta.
After about 90 minutes, this 21/2-pound roast reached an internal temperature of 135° F. After a 15 minute rest, it was a luscious medium rare and the new potatoes had cooked to perfection in the jus.
