Sometimes, simple is the best way to go and our Salt and Pepper Crusted Beef will make you a believer. This melt-in-your-mouth roast doesn't need a bunch of different seasonings in order to be super flavorful!
What You'll Need
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- 1 beef eye of the round roast (2-1/2 to 3 pounds), trimmed
- 4 cup kosher (coarse) salt
- 2 tablespoon coarse black pepper
- 1 cup water
What to Do
-
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine oil, onion, and garlic; close tightly and shake to mix well. Place roast in bag, seal, and turn to coat completely with mixture. Marinate 2 hours in refrigerator.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
-
In a medium bowl, combine salt, pepper, and water; mix well. Place half the salt mixture in center of prepared pan. Place roast over salt mixture then coat with remaining salt mixture, completely coating roast and forming a crust about 1/2 inch thick.
-
Bake 55 minutes for medium doneness, or until desired doneness beyond that. Remove from oven and discard salt crust. Slice and serve.
