    Herbed Beef in Salt Crust


    Source of Recipe


    Texas Beef Council

    List of Ingredients




    1 eye of round roast (2-1/2 to3 pounds)
    1/3 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup grated onion
    1 tsp. garlic salt
    1 tsp. dried basil leaves
    1/2 tsp. dried marjoram leaves
    1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
    1/4 tsp. pepper
    1 box Kosher salt (3 pounds)
    1 1/4 cups water

    Recipe



    Combine oil, onion and seasonings in heavy plastic bag; mix well. Add roast; coat well with marinade and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line roasting pan with aluminum foil. Combine Kosher salt and water to form a thick paste. Pat 1 cup of paste into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle in foil lined pan. Place roast on salt layer; pack remaining salt paste around meat to seal well.

    Bake at 350ºF 60-70 minutes or until thermometer registers 135ºF. (Steam may cause salt crust to crack slightly during roasting.) Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes. Remove and discard salt crust. Carve thinly. 

    * This preparation can easily be adapted to other roasts as well
