• The evening before; slice small slits all over the roast then stuff with the garlic clove halves.
• Rub the roast all over with oil, then brush the top and sides of the roast with the mustard, then sprinkle with thyme and black pepper.
• Place into a shallow roasting pan, do not use a rack set directly on the pan (if any fat on the roast place it fatty-side up in the pan).
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 hours or up to 2 days (careful not to remove the mustard mixture on the roast with the plastic wrap).
• The following day remove the roast from the fridge, uncover and discard plastic wrap.
• Let sit out on the counter to bring down to room temperature (this might take a couple hours or more, it is an IMPORTANT step to relax the meat fibers to create a more tender juicy roast).

• For medium-rare 60 minutes more cooking time -- 70 minutes for medium and 80 minutes for medium-well.
