Perhaps your new favorite bean dish:
Rinse and dry the meat. Remove the skin from the garlic and press it through the garlic press. Coarsely crush the peppercorns. Rub roast beef with garlic and crushed pepper. Rinse thyme, shake dry and strip leaves from stems. Press half of the thyme on the meat until smooth. Mix the remaining leaves with salt as well as the egg white and add a little water by the spoonful until the salt is soaked. Knead the salt dough well. Place the roast beef, fat side down, in an ovenproof dish, spread the salt dough evenly on top and press well until smooth. Bake in the heated oven on the middle shelf at 220 °C for 50 to 60 min. After 50 min. the meat is still bloody, after 60 min. it has only a red core. Remove the roast beef from the oven, take off the salt crust and cut the meat into even slices.
