Ready Time: 13 hrs 45 mins


• stir warm water, coffee, kosher salt, onion soup mix, onion, garlic, and worcestershire sauce in a 16-quart stock pot until salt and onion soup mix has dissolved. lay roast in the brine and cover pot; refrigerate at least 8 hours. turn roast over at least twice during brining.
• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• remove roast from brine and pat dry with paper towels. place roast on a rack in a roasting pan with the fat side down; sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. flip roast and season other side the same way. let roast stand until it reaches room temperature, about 1 hour.
• place roast into preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.
• turn off heat and leave meat in the hot oven, without opening oven door, for 3 hours. turn oven back on and set heat for 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). let roast reheat until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 130 degrees f (54 degrees c) for medium-rare, 30 to 40 minutes.
