Herbed Beef in Salt Crust

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

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 350�F. 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 350�F 60-70 minutes or until thermometer registers 135�F. (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
