High-temp roast eye of round!

[Hand]

So I had this 5-lb. eye of round from Costco and was wondering how to cook it.

Found a simple recipe:

Preheat oven to 500 F.

Season roast with salt and pepper.

Stick in oven on a rack in a roasting tray. Lower heat to 475.

Roast 7 min./lb.

Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven. DO NOT OPEN OVEN.

Leave roast in for 2.5 hr.

It came out beautiful--nice crust on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and flavorful. Might be a tad more well-done than I like; I haven't eaten my way to the thicker part yet. It's actually a bit pot-roasty in texture, but I don't mind that.

Easy and GOOO-OOOD! :9

1. I've never tried that method.

Thanks for the tip!

4. Here's the actual recipe.

Although it's pretty much as described. Only downside is that it produces a lot of smoke!

5. Thanks. n/t

How much smoke? I live in an apartment building with lots of seniors and an excitable management. The FD is here often for burnt toast and fires in dirty broilers--everyone gets hauled out into the street. Thanks for letting me in on that detail!

6. Not too bad.

Just keep the stove fan going on high and you shouldn't have a problem. :hi:

2. I've got to try that!

Thanks for posting about this method. I can see this as a helpful way to cook dinner when I need to run errands in the meantime. I don't like leaving when something is cooking.

3. Might want to take it out a little earlier.

Mine's a bit more well done than I'd have preferred, I think (I'm still only a generous sandwich's worth into it). Still wonderfully tasty and tender, though. Like buttah! :9
