Best Eye Round Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Season the roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan or baking dish. Do not cover or add water.
• Place the roast in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Roast for 21 minutes (seven minutes per pound) then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door at all during this time!
• Remove the roast from the oven, the internal temperature should have reached at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Carve into thin slices to serve.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle eye round with granulated garlic and black pepper; brown in skillet on medium high, on all sides. (Cover it, or it will splatter all over your nice clean stove.) Place roast in your slow cooker, set on low. If you don't have the time to brown it, that's okay too. Just season and place in your slow cooker, then pour the onion soup over it.
• 2. Pour soup into the pan and heat just enough to loosen all the goodness of the meat drippings into the soup. Then, pour over the roast in the slow cooker. (If you're roasting it in the oven, it's 350'F. for about 2 hours.)
• 3. Cover and cook on low approx. 5 hours (well done) or your preference, rare, medium or well done.
• 4. When done, take out and let it rest before cutting. Use the juice as is, or strain into a pan and make a rich brown gravy, or use juice as is. Great either way.

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse the roast and pat dry with paper towel.
• Salt and pepper the roast on all sides for searing.
• Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with olive oil and set on medium-high heat about 4 minutes until very hot.
• Wearing a long sleeve shirt and oven gloves (so that you do not get splashed with hot oil), place roast into hot roasting pan and sear on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup of fat has rendered, which should take a total of about 6 to 8 minutes.
• If you do not get 1/2 cup of fat rendered, that is okay.
• Set a wire rack in another roasting pan, and then set the roast onto the rack.
• Pour the water over the roast, making sure that it covers the bottom of the roasting pan, and then pour the wine over the roast.
• Brush roast with Dijon mustard.
• Smear 1 tablespoon of minced garlic from jar onto top of roast.
• Season again with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle the rest of the seasonings evenly, including 4 tablespoons of Au Jus Powder and then place the 3 bay leaves on top.
• Place roast, uncovered, in the middle of the oven that has been pre-heated to 325 degrees F. for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until roast is almost done.
• If you desire it to be medium-rare, remove from oven when it is rare.
• If you desire it to be medium, remove from oven when it is medium-rare.
• After removing from oven, tent with aluminum foil.
• Allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute themselves evenly throughout the roast, and for the roast to complete its cooking to your desired doneness.
• Set the roast onto a cutting board and carve.
• Place all of the juices, including the 1/2 cup of fat rendered from the initial searing process and 4 tablespoons of Au Jus powder into a gravy boat to serve as the au jus sauce or gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Season roast to your taste; place on rack in shallow roasting pan. DO NOT ADD WATER OR COVER THE PAN.
• Place roast in the preheated oven and LOWER THE TEMPERATURE to 475°F.
• Roast at 475°F for 7 MINUTES PER POUND.
• Turn the oven OFF and leave roast in oven 2-1/2 hours. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR UNTIL TIME IS UP.
• Remove roast and slice thinly.
