Herb Rotî

Pre-heat oven to 230. Spread whipped cream cheese, sprinkle salt, pepper and dried onions, herbs and layer with baby spinach leaves. Roll slightly firmly, not too much to squeeze out the layered ingredients, but fairly tight and tie with butchers twine. Place 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil on the bottom of the pan, place roast spiral side up, leeks and mushrooms in a large 8.5 quart dutch oven. Drizzle olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, onion flakes, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper on top. Place rosemary sprigs on top. Cover and bake for 6 hours, or until beef is tender.
