A PERFECT EYE OF ROUND ROAST BEEF



A Perfect Eye of Round Roast Beef image

Without fail, my mother-in-law made an eye of round roast beef for Sunday dinner every week. While I tried to do so myself, I always had varying results. Sometimes, I overcooked it, and other times, it was too rare. I finally discovered this method that produced a perfect roast beef every time, that was medium, and even rarer in the center, and pleased all of our tastes. The key is to use an eye of round roast (or any well-rounded and even-shaped roast). The seasonings are up to you. I listed very basic seasonings, but I use different meat rubs at times, or whatever I'm in the mood for. While there are not enough pan drippings to make gravy, the juices make a lovely au jus to accompany the beef. This works for any size roast and couldn't be easier.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 beef eye round

  • Place meat in roasting pan in preheated oven.
  • Roast beef for 5 minutes per pound. Then turn off oven. DO NOT OPEN OVEN FOR 2 HOURS! (For example, a 4-lb. roast would take 20 minutes to cook and then sit in the turned-off oven for 2 hours.).

EASY ROAST BEEF



Easy Roast Beef image

This is a pretty fool proof way to make a roast beef. You can add or subtract any seasoning you want. * I don't add salt before cooking as it will draw out the juices. *Always check your roast with a meat thermometer, to get a perfect roast. I use a digital read thermometer. see bottom of directions for timetable. *Remember that the roast will continue cooking after you remove from the oven and let it sit. Usually about 5-10 degrees, so keep that in mind when you go to read the temperature *Allow the roast to sit for 10-15 minutes after removing from oven, so that the juices can redistribute, before you slice it.

Time 59m

Yield 1 Roast, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 -4 lbs roast beef
1/8 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 500 Degrees.
  • Remove Roast beef from package and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Rub Olive Oil all over roast and put in roasting pan on a rack. (FAT SIDE UP).
  • Sprinkle Garlic Powder and Black Pepper all over roast.
  • Put in oven and roast at 500 degrees for 20 minutes.(do NOT open oven door during this step. You want the intense hot heat to "sear" the roast and keep in all the juices.).
  • After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue roasting for at that temperature for 18 minutes per pound.
  • *3lb Roast- 54 minutes
  • *4lb Roast-72 minutes
  • I generally start checking the temperature after 45 minutes of cooking at 300 degrees. When the roast reaches the required temperature (see below) remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Timetable.
  • Rare- 125-130 degrees.
  • Medium rare- 130-140 degrees.
  • Medium- 145-150 degrees.
  • Well Done-155-165 degrees.
  • After allowing the roast to "rest" Slice and Serve!

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dry sherry
4 cups low-sodium beef stock
1 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 star anise

2 cups thinly sliced radishes (about 8 ounces)
4 crusty hoagie rolls

8 thick slices gruyere
Watercress, for serving
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 4-pound boneless beef eye round roast
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the au jus: Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the peppercorns, salt, thyme, garlic, rosemary and shallots. Cook the shallots, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer, a few minutes. Add the stock and simmer, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid. Keep warm.
  • For the pickled radishes: Simmer 1/2 cup water, the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, salt, star anise, bay leaf and garlic. After 10 minutes of simmering, pour the mixture over the radishes in a heat-proof container and cool.
  • For the sandwich build: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a work surface. Place the sliced Homemade Roast Beef on the bottom. Top with 1 slice gruyere each, some pickled radishes and watercress. Cover with the tops of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half, dunk into the au jus and realize sometimes leftovers are just better.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the roast, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Wipe off the excess garlic and herbs and add the roast to the pan. Sear the roast on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a roasting pan with a rack. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the roast and serve.

Tips for Cooking a Perfect Beef Roast

  • Select the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and sirloin tip roast are all good choices for a beef roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Season the roast generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to season the roast. You can also add fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage, for extra flavor.
  • Brown the roast before cooking: Browning the roast in a hot pan before cooking will help to develop flavor and color. You can brown the roast in a Dutch oven or a large skillet.
  • Cook the roast in a low oven: Cook the roast at a low temperature, around 300 degrees Fahrenheit, for several hours. This will help to keep the meat tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The internal temperature of the roast should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the roast rest before carving: Once the roast is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat.

Conclusion
