Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (3 pound) beef eye of round roast
½ cup dry red wine (merlot or cabernet sauvignon)
½ cup beef broth
2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

Steps:

  • Combine the oil, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic into a paste, then rub all over the roast. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. Forty minutes into the hour, pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • On a baking sheet, place two sheets of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil large enough to cover the roast. Place the roast on the foil sheets and transfer everything to the oven. Roast for 6 minutes per pound.
  • Remove from the oven. Fold up the foil so it wraps the roast then return it to the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees F and roast for one hour. After an hour, check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 120-125 degrees F will yield a rare center, 130-140 degrees F will yield a medium-rare center, and 140-150 degrees F will yield a medium center.
  • When the roast is finished, remove it and set it on a cutting board to rest. Transfer any drippings from the roast into a saucepan, then combine with the red wine and beef broth. Bring to a simmer over med-high heat and reduce by 1/4; reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in the cubes of butter one at a time until incorporated into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  • Slice the roast into 1/2 inch thick slices and serve with the pan sauce poured on top.

Provided by Madeline Tague

Categories     Main Course     Main Dish

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2.5-3 pound eye of round roast (beef round roast) (, trimmed )
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1 large yellow onion
2 cups low sodium beef broth

Steps:

  • Remove the eye of round roast from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to preparing it and allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 250°F and pat the roast dry with a paper towel. Cut the yellow onion into a large dice.
  • Combine the garlic powder, pepper, salt, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl. Rub the roast on all sides with the dry rub.
  • Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot add the seasoned roast to the pan and sear on all sides - about 2 minutes each side. Turn off heat and remove the seared roast from the pan.
  • Add the onion to the bottom of the skillet in an even layer to create a natural roasting rack. Place the seared roast on the onions and pour broth into the pan.
  • Place the roast in the oven to bake at 250°F until the internal temperature reaches 125°F - the cook time will depend on the exact size of the roast so start checking the temperature at regular intervals using an electronic thermometer starting at 1 hour of cooking. It will take on average about 2 hours for a 3 pound eye of round roast to reach an internal temperature of 125°F
  • Remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes. Slice into thin slices against the grain. Strain the juice from the cast iron skillet and serve with the thinly sliced beef.

EASY EYE OF ROUND ROAST



Easy Eye of Round Roast image

I was making and Eye of Round roast for New Years dinner, and needed a recipe for the slow cooker. I don't like onion soup, and that is what most of the slow cooker recipes use so I came up with this version. It smelled heavenly while cooking, and was fork tender when cooked. I used a package of Club House turkey gravy mix (reduced salt) for seasoning. It was a 25 gram package in Canada, so would be about 1 oz in the US. I always have some in the pantry as my daughter likes it with oven fries. Feel free to use whatever variety of mushrooms you have. The slow cooking and the wine help to tenderize the roast. Everyone raved over the end result. I hope you enjoy it.

EASY EYE ROUND ROAST BEEF



Easy Eye Round Roast Beef image

Took the basic technique from Cook's Illustrated to make the cheaper cut of beef more tender, but added a couple of twists. This is great served medium-rare. For those who prefer it more done, the ends should be more to medium. I serve with creamy horseradish. Slice it thin and it's as tender as tenderloin.

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs boneless eye of round roast
2 -3 teaspoons table salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, separated
3 teaspoons ground black pepper
5 garlic cloves, slivered

Steps:

  • Sprinkle all sides of 4 lb. eye of round roast evenly with salt. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6-18 hours. The longer you let it sit the more tender it will become. But don't let it go over 18-24 hours.

  • Pat roast dry with paper towel.
  • Cut deep slits into roast and stick in slivered pieces of garlic.
  • Rub with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle all sides evenly with pepper.
  • Heat remaining oil in large, heavy bottomed pan (I just use my shallow roaster with rack).
  • Sear roast until browned on all sides, 4-5 minutes per side. Should create some good fond.
  • Transfer roast to wire rack in shallow roaster pan.
  • Use meat-probe thermometer and set it for 125 degrees.
  • Roast until meat-probe thermometer inserted into center of roast registers 120 degrees for medium-rare, 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours, or 130 degrees for medium, 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours.
  • Turn oven off; leave roast in oven, until meat-probe thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare or 140 degrees for medium (this can take as little as 15-30 minutes longer).
  • Transfer roast to carving board and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Slice meat crosswise as thinly as possible and serve with creamy horseradish.

Categories     Meat

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 slices onions
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 beef bouillon cubes
1 (3 lb) beef eye round
1/2 cup dry red wine (merlot or Cab)
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut up
aluminum foil
optional for gravey- 2 tbs flour and warm water (I use water from boiling potatoes to make mash potatoes)

Steps:

  • Combine the oil, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic into a paste, then rub all over the roast. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. Forty minutes into the hour, pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Put roast in a roasting pan on a grate,, top with sliced onions and parsley,, and add two cups water to het pan, plus beef bullion cubes. Roast for 6 minutes per pound.
  • Remove from the oven. Cover the roast with the foil and then return it to the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees F and roast for one hour. After an hour, check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 120-125 degrees F will yield a rare center, 130-140 degrees F will yield a medium-rare center, and 140-150 degrees F will yield a medium center.
  • When the roast is finished, remove it and set it on a cutting board to rest (cover with foil). Transfer any drippings from the roast into a saucepan - or just use the roasting pan -, then combine with the red wine and beef broth. Bring to a simmer over med-high heat and reduce by 1/4; reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in the cubes of butter one at a time until incorporated into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside. I have skipped the red wine and beef broth, used water from boiling potatoes, mixed in flour/potatoe water and it still tastes great.
  • Slice the roast into desired thickness, I prefer thin, and serve with the pan sauce poured on top.
  • Serve with Mash potatoes, gravy and green beans with Balsamic vinegar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Eye of round roast is a lean cut of beef that is best cooked slowly and gently. Look for a roast that is about 3 to 4 pounds in weight and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Brown the roast before roasting: Browning the roast in a hot skillet before roasting helps to develop flavor and color. It also helps to keep the roast moist during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the roast in a flavorful liquid, such as a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices, helps to infuse it with flavor. Marinate the roast for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the roast slowly and gently: Eye of round roast is a tough cut of meat, so it is important to cook it slowly and gently. Roast the meat at a low temperature, around 300 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the roast rest before carving: After the roast is cooked, let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Eye of round roast is a delicious and affordable cut of beef that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can easily create a tender and flavorful roast that your whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give eye of round roast a try.
