Roast Eye of Round

Ingredients

  • 3 lb seasoned eye of round roast

In the bottom of a dutch oven place

  • 1 onion cut into rings
  • 12 crimini mushrooms
  • 1 sliced leek
  • 2 c beef stock
  • Sprigs of fresh oregano
  • Course salt
  • Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500F
  • Take the roast and place on top of the veggies.
  • Cook for 25 minutes. UNCOVERED! (Or cook at 500F for 7 min a pound)
  • Turn off the oven.
  • 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.
  • Remove from the pot, wrap in tinfoil and set aside to rest.
  • Scoop the veggies out of the pot and pour the liquid into a smaller saucepot.
  • Make gravy as preferred. (I add some water, S&P, paprika, dried oregano and thicken it.)
  • (The roast I did came out at 136F - a medium rare.)
