Italian

2 lbs Beef Loin Roast, at room temperature

Fresh ground Pepper

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Bay Leaf

10 Cloves Garlic, peeled

Sea Salt

Rub the beef generously with freshly ground pepper, and place in a heavy bottomed pot large enough to hold the meat. Drizzle the olive oil over the meat and turn the meat over to coat with the oil. Add the bay leaf and garlic cloves and marinate for 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Brown the meat over medium-high heat, turning to brown evenly. This step will take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the roast. When the garlic begins to color remove it with a slotted spoon. When the roast is well browned on all sides and ends return the browned garlic cloves to the pot, remove the pot from the heat, and cover. Let the meat rest for 15-30 minutes. The internal temperature will be 140 degrees. Season the pan juices with salt after meat has rested. Cut the meat into thin slices, spinkle with salt. Serve with the garlic and pan juices.
