Human: What is the best way to prepare a roast? Assistant: 
The best way to prepare a roast is to season it with salt and pepper, then sear it in a hot pan until it has some nice color. Once the roast has browned, you can transfer it to an oven-safe dish and finish cooking it in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes per pound of meat. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
