Time 6h30m

Yield About 200 slices

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons paprika
4 tablespoons herbes de Provence (see note)
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Colman's dry mustard
1 top-round beef roast, about 16 1/2 pounds, trimmed of all but a thin layer of fat

Steps:

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, herbes de Provence, cayenne pepper and dry mustard. Rub on the roast, coating it evenly on all sides.
Place the roast in a roasting pan and bake it in a 225-degree oven for approximately 5 to 6 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees. Remove and set aside to cool until lukewarm, for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Strain and reserve the juices. When ready to serve, cut the roast into very thin slices by hand or on a meat-slicing machine. Serve with the juices or on greens.
