1 hour before roasting, take the cut out of the fridge to come to room temperature.
2
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
3
Score the fat layer of the cut in a diamond pattern and tuck the garlic into the cuts.
Knife
4
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture over the cut on all sides.

5
Lay some of the rosemary sprigs in the pan, set the cut on them and arrange the rest on top.

6
Bake uncovered 20 minutes, until the outside of the cut browns.

💡The blast of heat at the start browns the outside of the roast; then a lower heat cooks it slowly through to the center, and it stays pink.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
7
When the time is up, lower the heat to 160°C (320°F) and keep roasting for 90 minutes, until a thermometer in the meat reads 60°C (140°F), for medium.

Transfer the cut to a board and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
Cutting board
💡As it rests, the juices move back from the edges to the center, and the remaining heat keeps cooking it a little: a roast sliced right away loses its juices on the board.
9
Slice the cut fine, across the grain.
