Herbed Roast Beef In Salt Crust

Nor is it that a believer’s single gift will be restricted to only one category of giftedness. An individual gift may include a number of specific areas of giftedness, in a limitless variety of combinations. Someone with a major gift of administration may also have something of the gifts of helps and of teaching. Believers’ gifts are like snowflakes and fingerprints – each one is completely distinct from all others. Some teachers may emphasize knowledge, some instruction, some mercy, and others exhortation. From the palette of gift colors the Holy Spirit uses the brush of His sovereign design to paint the mixture of each believer so that no two are like.

1		Beef rib or eye of round
		roast 4-6 lbs
1		Box, 3# Morton Kosher Salt
1 1/4	c	Water

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine oil, onion, garlic salt, basil, marjoram, thyme and pepper in
a heavy plastic bag. Mix well. Add roast; coat well with marinade.
Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours or overnight. Line roasting pan with
foil. Combine kosher salt and water to form a thick slush. Pat 1 cup
of mixture into 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 mixture around roast to seal well. Place roast in  425F
oven and roast 16-18 minutes per pound for rare (140 degrees),  20-22
minutes per pound for medium (160 degrees) or 25-30 minutes for  well
done (170 degrees). Remove roast when thermometer registers 5  degrees
below desired doneness. Let roast stand 5-10 minutes in salt  crust. To
remove crust you may need to use a hammer. After removing  crust, whisk
away any remaining salt crystals with a pastry brush.  NOTES : Use
prime rib, eye of round, or any beef roast that is at  least 4 pounds.
Smaller roasts will cook before the crust hardens.  For larger roasts,
cooking time will not be much longer than for  smaller roasts. Use a
meat thermometer. Use only coarse kosher salt,  not table salt or rock
salt.  More tips from the ABJ:  Buy an extra box of salt if cooking a
roast larger than 6 pounds.  Insert meat thermometer before putting the
meat in the oven. When the  crust hardens, the thermometer may be
difficult to insert. Wiggle the  thermometer so the salt iisn't packed
against the stem, which could  produce a false temperature reading.
Don't pack the roast in salt ahead of time, or the salt will fall off.
Don't moisten the salt with more water than the recipe calls for, or
the salt will fall off.  Sprinkle a thin layer of salt slush over the
roast first, then add a  thicker layer. The salt will cling to the meat
better. But if the salt  still falls off in a few places, don't worry.
