This is super simple method to prepare roast beef. Using coarse rock salt is very common in South America, Greece and Italy when preparing large cuts of meat. The salt flavors the meat as well as provides a wonderful crust. Serves 8 to 10.

- In the bottom of the roasting pan add the onions, celery and carrots.
- Add 2 cups of water to the roasting pan.
- Make slits all over meat and insert a garlic slice.
- Rub meat all over with canola oil, the roll in the rock salt. You want to make sure the meet is completely covered with the salt.
