I used this recipe for Christmas Day this year and it came out WONDERFUL I threw a dash of Chayenne pepper with the seasoning salt for a little kick and it was great.

Great recipe! The cut of meat was nothing special, but it turned out perfect. I followed the directions exactly (was a 5.5 lb roast). The only thing I may change next time is to cook it to 135 degrees and let it heat up to 140 under the tent.

I made this for Easter dinner and it was fantastic. I added beef stock to the bottom of my roasting pan while cooking to make a nice gravy. Very simple, not overpowering with the onions and garlic. I will be making this again. Thanks Gary!
