Preparation

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine oil, onion, garlic, and pepper; close tightly and shake to mix well. Place roast in bag, seal bag, and coat roast completely with mixture. Marinate 2 hours in refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.

In a medium bowl, combine salt 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. Remove from oven and discard salt crust. Slice and serve.
