Preparation

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

• Herbes de Provence can be purchased at specialty food stores, or you can create your own by combining equal parts of four or five of the following dried herbs: marjoram, thyme, rosemary, summer savory, sage, fennel, basil and lavender.
