  1. Season the roast with oregano, salt and pepper on both sides. Sear over high heat in a skillet for 3 minutes per side.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat with a splash of beef broth to keep the meat moist, or microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through. Leftovers make incredible sandwiches the next day.
