Herb Rubbed Bison Roast

Well, you may remember awhile back we went to a buffalo farm... on that adventure we picked up several different cuts of bison- one of which was a roast. And cooked like the directions below it was quite good... we hardly had any leftovers:) I think that this rub would be wonderful on any type of roast... if there are children in the house you may cut down on the cayenne pepper:)
