Combine the olive oil and garlic; rub all over the roast.
Combine the pepper and herbs; spread the mixture out on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper. Roll the roast in the herb mixture to coat thoroughly.
Tie roast with 3 lengths of kitchen twine, if necessary.
Place the roast on a rack in an open roasting pan. Roast for about 1 hour, or 15 to 18 minutes per pound. Look for a temperature of about 135 F for medium-rare or 145 F for medium.
Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
