Rub beef sirloin roast with 2 tablespoons olive oil and crushed garlic cloves. Sprinkle with rosemary and cracked peppercorns. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Place in a roasting pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt. Cook 2 hours, or until juice runs clear. Let stand for 5 minutes before carving.
