Peppered Beef Roast

Preheat oven to 325�F. Combine black pepper, mustard, garlic, allspice and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; stir in oil to form a paste. Rub spice paste evenly over surface of beef. Place on rack in shallow roasting pan, fat side up. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, not touching fat. Don�t add any water. Roast, uncovered, approximately 1 3/4 to 2 hours for medium-rare doneness, 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours for medium. Take roast out of the oven when meat thermometer registers 140�F for medium-rare, 155�F for medium. Tent with foil and allow to stand 15 to 20 minutes (the meat�s temperature will continue to rise by about 5�F). Trim excess fat before carving into 1/4-inch slices.
