I buy mine about a week to 10 days before I cook it - so it can age more - and then I put a salt and pepper rub on it about 24 hours before cooking it. Sometime a do the rub a few days before - it just depends when I remember to do it. Then I cook it on the Showtime Rotisserie for 17 minutes per pound. My family loves it. I always get the roast about 2 pounds more than I need because I use the left over beef to make beef stroganoff. (I cook the bones done and save the extra broth when I make stew.)
