Cooking:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine minced garlic, salt and black pepper; press evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast.

2. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 350°F oven 40 to 60 minutes for medium rare; 45 to 65 minutes for medium doneness.

3. Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 145°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°-15°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)

Gremolata Sauce:
4. In a food processor, grate lemon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoon lemon juice from lemon. Combine lemon, beef stock, chopped parsley, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until mixture is smooth and thick.

Serving:
5. Carve roast into slices. Season with salt, as desired. Serve with Gremolata sauce on top.
