Skip's Notes:

This cut of Beef is not known for it's tenderness, but it can be cooked in such a way as to make it socculent,juicy AND tender.
The secret is in HOW it is cooked !!
Follow me through a few simple steps to enjoy a roast of unbelieveable goodness.
To be any easier, the roast would have to jump into the oven by itself.

 

Directions

1
Slice 6 cloves of peeled garlic in half. Make deep slits all around the meat and insert the garlic pieces into the slits on the beef. (Insert finger into slit to expand it to accept garlic).
2
Rub surface of meat with olive or canola oil. Season roast with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you desire.
3
Heat a cast iron deep skillet to screaming hot and sear meat on all sides. No oil needed except the oil used prior to seasoning. This is going to create a LOT of smoke. Turn on hood fan and/or open windows.
4
Place roast, on a rack, in roasting pan or baking dish. DO NOT COVER or add liquid. Place in 500 degree oven and then immediately turn the heat down to 475 degrees.
5
Roast at 475 for 7 to 8 minutes per pound. So with A 3 pound roast, it will be done in about 21 to 24 minutes.
6
After prescribed roasting time, turn oven OFF and let roast sit in oven for 2-1/2 hours.
Do NOT open the door during this time.
7
When 2-1/2 hours have elapsed, remove roast from oven, rest for 10 minutes covered loosely with foil, carve across the grain into thin slices.

ENJOY.

NOTE: The secret to this method of roasting is the high heat and prolonged time in a CLOSED oven with heat off.

It works like magic !! Believe me.

I am going to try this method. Thanks for sharing Skip. Do you think it would work in a crock pot on low?

Pat -- The SECRET is in the high heat and long time in a closed oven without heat except for residual heat left from roasting. -- In a crock pot, it is just another pot roast.

I made one of these eye of round roasts Friday afternoon for a friend and when she saw me in church this morning, she hugged my neck and said it was VERY tender and moist. -- I also do my PRIME RIB using this method. It produces a medium-rare result.

I believe you Skip. As far as seasonings are concerned, I think fresh garlic, sea salt, fresh cracked pepper is plenty for this recipe. Just added Eye of Round Roast to my shopping list. CHEERS, CC

Skip ~ Absolutely love your recipe! Had quit buying this cut of beef because always came out too dry. Saw your recipe and bought eye of round and cooked it on Sundsy. Perfectly juicy, medium rare roast beef. I followed your instructions except under the rack beef rested in, I roasted baby carrots, fresh mushrooms, asparagus, celery & shallots at same time. Made a quick wine sauce and was finished. What a hit, everyone loved it and a gorgeous presentation. Thank you Skip. Will do this now on and also with Prime Rib. Chuck Roast is the only low and slow beef I want! LOL!

I had a butcher in a speciality meat store years ago give me similar instructions on how to roast this type of meat-you are so right-it does come out sooo tender and juicy-making it this p.m.
