EASY EYE ROUND ROAST BEEF

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.
• Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to almost room temperature,.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
• 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.
