1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated onion
1 teaspoon Morton Garlic Salt
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 2 1/2- to 3-pound beef eye of round roast
1 3-pound box Morton Coarse Kosher Salt
1 1/4 cups water
Combine oil, onion and seasonings in a heavy plastic bag, mix well. Add roast; coat well with marinade. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours or overnight. Line roasting pan with aluminum foil. Combine kosher salt and water to form a thick paste. Pat 1 cup paste to a 1/2 inch thick rectangle in pan. Pat roast dry with paper towels; insert meat thermometer. Place roast on salt layer; pack remaining salt paste around meat to seal well.
Bake at 350 degrees until thermometer registers 140 degrees, approximately 1 hour, 20 minutes. Steam may cause salt crust to crack slightly during roasting. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Remove and discard salt crust.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
