Directions
Step 1
For the roast: Place the roast on a work surface. Let sit out at room temperature for 1 hour.
Step 2
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 260°C (500°F). Line a baking sheet with foil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes. Rub the roast all over with the flour mixture.
Step 4
Place the roast on the baking sheet, fat-side up. Bake for 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and do not open the door for 2 hours. It is very important not to release any heat from the oven. Remove the roast from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium-rare. On a work surface, remove the bones and slice the meat.
Step 5
For the tomato salad and pesto: Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, finely chop the basil, pumpkin seeds, Parmesan, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oil and lemon juice. Blend until creamy. Adjust the seasoning.
Step 6
When ready to serve, arrange the tomato slices in a large serving dish. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced meat and drizzle with the cooking juices. Top with the basil pesto.
