Mix salt and spices together and sprinkle on a sheet of foil. Roll roast in spices until completely covered. place roast on rack and put in oven.

Roast at 500 for 20 minutes then drop oven temp to 300 for about 30 minutes.

Take roast out of the oven at 115 and tent with foil . It will continue to cook a little

120′  –  rare – THE ONLY WAY IT SHOULD BE     –    FOR TRUE LOVERS OF DELI ROAST BEEF

130  is medium –  for  the rest of you

Let rest 20 min. you can slice it now or put it in the freezer for 20 min and slice it across the grain. Putting it in the freezer stiffen it up and you can slice it even thinner.

Use a really sharp knife and slice as thin as possible.
