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.)
