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.

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.

Categories     Roasts

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 to 4 lb eye of round roast
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
6 clove garlic (optional)
1 tsp herbs of choice (optional)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 8. 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Eye of round roast is a lean and flavorful cut that is perfect for roasting. Look for a roast that is evenly marbled with fat and has a deep red color.
  • Season the roast well: Before roasting, season the roast generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Sear the roast before roasting: Searing the roast before roasting will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. To sear the roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Roast the beef low and slow: Eye of round roast is a tough cut of meat, so it is important to cook it low and slow. Roast the beef at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the roast rest before carving: Once the roast is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help 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 can be easily roasted at home. Follow these tips to ensure that your roast turns out tender, juicy, and flavorful.
