Step 1
Cook the right roast. For a party of ten you will need a five pound boneless beef loin New York strip roast with fat trimmed to 1/4 inch. The rest of the ingredients include 4 garlic cloves, 8 fresh sage leaves, 4 teaspoons salt, 4 teaspoons olive oil, 4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, 1½ teaspoons ground black pepper.

Step 2
Prepare the meat. Start by patting the roast dry with paper towel. Finely chop garlic cloves in a food processor and then add remaining ingredients until a paste forms. Rub paste completely over meat and put in fridge for a minimum of three hours.
-
Step 3
Roast the roast. Roast meat for fifteen minutes on rack in a roasting pan, fat side up, in oven pre heated to 450 degrees. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook for an additional thirty five minutes to forty minutes.

Step 4
Let rest. Remove from oven and wait twenty minutes before slicing crosswise at 1/3 inch thick and arranging on a platter.

Step 5
Serve the guests and then some. This roast also makes delicious sandwiches so if you would like some leftovers, bump your roast up to seven pounds and increase your spices one and a half times. Cooking time will be about the same with a thermometer reading of 130 degrees for medium rare or 140 degrees for medium. This dish will not require much more effort than an assortment of appetizers but your guests will think you slaved all day.
