Ingredients
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup granulated garlic
- 1/4 cup granulated onion
- 1/2 cup dried basil
- 1/2 cup dried oregano
- 5 to 7-pound roast beef round
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a medium jar.
Trim all the fat from beef round. (I grind the trimmings), but you can cut them up into bite-size pieces and place on the bottom of a roasting pan. Sprinkle the trimmings with some of the seasoning mix. Place the roast beef on top of the trimmings and coat the beef well with more of the seasoning mix. Drizzle olive oil on top of the roast and pat the oil over the seasonings. Place into the preheated oven on lowest rack and roast approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours, uncovered, until the internal temperature registers *130 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven and let stand about 20 to 30 minutes before carving. This roast can be used for sandwiches, thinly cut or thickly cut and served with beef gravy, if desired.
*Cook's note: 1 1/2 to 2 hours (rare) 140 degrees F for medium, 160 degrees F for well.

I used the seasonings on a roast, put it in a slow cooker with sauted onions and crimini mushrooms and beef stock and cooked until it fell apart, served it on bollilo rolls. My 82 year old Dad said it was the best he ever had!

This was absolutely delicious! Growing up on the farm my husband ate alot of beef roasts but this was by far the best he's ever had! My whole family loved it and it is now going to be a regular on the menu! the flavor was perfect! I actually put it on low heat all afternoon and it was so tender and the juice made perfect gravy for the cream cheese mashed potatoes as a side!!

This is absolutely the best, simple and perfect at written. My four kids request this weekly.
For those of you stating too much salt, are you using regular or kosher? If using regular table salt then yes you need to adjust the receipe to just under half the amount.
