This is another That's My Home recipe. I am posting because there has been a request for this type of roast. Ingredients:
1 (2 1/2-3 lb) eye of round roast |
1/3 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup onion (grated) |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves |
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 lbs kosher salt (1 box) |
1 1/4 cups water |
Directions:
1. Combine oil, onion and seasonings in heavy plastic bag; mix well.
2. Add roast; coat well with marinade and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F Line roasting pan with aluminum foil.
4. Combine Kosher salt and water to form a thick paste. Pat 1 cup of paste into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle in foiled lined pan. Place roast on salt layer; pack remaining salt paste around meat to seal well.
5. Bake at 350°F 60 - 70 minutes or until thermometer registers 135°F (Steam may cause salt crust to crack slightly during roasting.).
6. Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes. Remove and discard salt crust. Carve thinly.
