So it was finally cooler today. Cloudy and a bit drizzly. Which called for a roast Sunday dinner. I didn’t want anything too crazy, so when I saw a 3lb pepper crusted roast for only $12 at the store, I decided to grab it for dinner. But an eye of round is not the best cut. Its too lean and doesn’t have enough marbling to make for a nice roast. So after a bit of digging, I came across this recipe on The Domestic Man<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

He seemed to be, at first, as pessimistic about the recipe as I was. But after reading how well it turned out and how pleased he was with it, I thought it wouldn’t hurt anything to try. If it came out uncooked…. well there is a McDonalds and an A&W close.<\/p>\n

I had to do a bit of finagling since my oven hates me and refuses to heat properly. I cooked it for an extra 10-15 minutes since I wasn’t sure it was getting to 500F that is called for. (In the recipe below, times reflect the recipe on the Domestic Man site.)<\/p>\n

I used a pre-seasoned pepper crust roast, but if the roast had been plain, I would have made a herb n’ garlic mix and smeared all over the roast first. I added a bit of liquid and veggies to my recipe, but mostly because I believe gravy is a pertinent and very critical food group. The meat came out perfectly cooked and very tender!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 3<\/span> lb<\/span> seasoned eye of round roast<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

    In the bottom of a dutch oven place<\/h4>
    • 1<\/span> onion<\/span> cut into rings<\/span><\/li>
    • 12<\/span> crimini mushrooms<\/span><\/li>
    • 1<\/span> sliced leek<\/span><\/li>
    • 2<\/span> c<\/span> beef stock<\/span><\/li>
    • Sprigs of fresh oregano<\/span><\/li>
    • Course salt<\/span><\/li>
    • Fresh ground pepper<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      Instructions<\/h3>
      • Preheat the oven to 500F<\/div><\/li>
      • Take the roast and place on top of the veggies.<\/div><\/li>
      • Cook for 25 minutes. UNCOVERED! (Or cook at 500F for 7 min a pound)<\/div><\/li>
      • Turn off the oven.<\/div><\/li>
      • Don't be tempted to peek or open the door! Just leave it alone and let it sit in there for another 2 1\/2 hours.<\/div><\/li>
      • Remove from the pot, wrap in tinfoil and set aside to rest.<\/div><\/li>
      • Scoop the veggies out of the pot and pour the liquid into a smaller saucepot.<\/div><\/li>
      • Make gravy as preferred. (I add some water, S&P, paprika, dried oregano and thicken it.)<\/div><\/li>
      • (The roast I did came out at 136F - a medium rare.)<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
