Preheat oven to 425° F.
Combine ingredients and rub over surface of roast. Cook immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for a stronger cured flavor.
Place roast on rack in an open roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so bulb is centered in the thickest part. Do not add water or cover.
Roast in a 425° F oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Remove roast when thermometer registers 135° F for medium-rare. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Slice thin.
