Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup onions minced
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 lbs beef rib eye roast
  • 3 TBSP kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Combine oil, garlic, sea salt, basil, marjoram, thyme and pepper in a large plastic bag. Shake to mix well. Add the roast and coat well with marinade. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Another option is to use a large Dutch oven (my favorite!).
  • In a large bowl, mix kosher salt and water to create a thick paste. Layer 1 cup of salt paste about 1/2 inch thick on the bottom of the pan. Pat dry your roast with paper towels and place meat on top of 1/2 inch salt layer in your pan. Pack the remaining salt paste on all sides of the meat.
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees. Before slicing allow the meat to rest for 10-15 minutes. Remove and throw away the salt crust before slicing and serving. Then, enjoy a very merry Christmas feast!
