Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, garlic salt, garlic pepper, and thyme.
Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than one hour
Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes
The internal temperature of the roast should be at 135 degrees for medium rare. Cook a little bit longer if you want it a little more done.
Allow the roast to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.
