1 (2 1/4-pound) boneless sirloin half leg of lamb
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
