Tips:

To tenderize the eye of round steak, use a meat mallet or a fork to pierce the steak all over before cooking, which helps break down the tough fibers.
Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking to infuse it with flavor and make it more tender. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, honey, and ginger.
Cook the steak over medium heat to prevent it from becoming tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the steak to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit; for medium, cook to 145 degrees Fahrenheit; and for medium-well, cook to 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the eye of round steak with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
