The centrepiece of our personalized meat platter is this sliced oven-roasted beef, which has less salt and much more flavour than deli counter beef. A 3-lb (1.5 kg) eye of round oven roast will yield the pound of beautiful slices you need for the platter, plus plenty of leftovers to enjoy on another occasion.

Method
In bowl, combine garlic, parsley, mustard, salt and pepper. Pat roast dry; rub all over with garlic mixture. Place on greased rack in small roasting pan.

Reduce heat to 275°F (140°C); roast until meat thermometer registers 140°F (60°C) for rare or 150°F (65°C) for medium-rare, about 1 hour. Let cool. (Make-ahead: Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Slice.
