Remove the roast from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 1 ½ hours. This helps the roast cook evenly.
Sprinkle the roast with garlic salt, onion salt, and pepper.
Slather the roast all over with butter. I often add the garlic salt and onion salt to the butter instead of sprinkling it on the roast. Either is fine.
Place the seasoned roast on a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan or large baking pan. Place a meat thermometer in the center of the roast not touching bone or fat.
Bake, uncovered, according to baking time guide in NOTES below. Times will vary with size of roast, bone-in vs. boneless, and the desired degree of doneness.
Remove from the oven. Cover with foil and let stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Temperature will rise between 5 and 10 degrees while resting.
