2. Brush meat with olive oil and set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

Transer pan with meat to preheated oven and roast 10-12 minutes or until internal temperature is 150 degrees. Remove meat from oven and let rest for a few minutes. When you slice it, the interior should be faintly pink and juicy. Slice and serve with the Salsa Verde Sauce. Yum, Yum, You could use the salsa verde suce over pasta the next day.
