TENDER EYE OF ROUND ROAST BEEF WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Remove your roast from the refrigerator and allow it to rest on the counter for 45 minutes to 1 hour to take the chill off.
• Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 500 degrees F.
• Combine all the Roast Beef Seasoning Mix ingredients in a small bowl.
• Pat your roast with paper towels to dry the surface and then drizzle with olive oil and use your hands to rub the olive oil, coating all sides of the roast.
• Sprinkle all sides, including the ends, with the seasoning mix. Place your roast on a rack in a roasting pan with the fat cap side facing up.
• Transfer to the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes until nicely browned. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue to roast for another 40 to 50 minutes or until internal temperature reads 130 and no more than 135 degrees F. (medium rare). Begin checking temperature after 35 minutes by inserting an instant read thermometer through the center of the roast from the side. Watch it closely because the temperature can rise quickly towards the end of the cooking time. I don't recommend cooking this roast beyond 135 degrees for the most tender, delicious result.
• Remove from the oven and loosely tent a piece of foil over the meat while still on the rack in the roasting pan. Allow to rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board and set the roasting pan aside (you will need the pan and drippings to make the gravy later). Use a sharp knife to slice it against the grain about ¼-inch thick slices. Transfer the sliced beef to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Pour all of the juices that have accumulated on the cutting board into the roasting pan with the drippings.

BEEF OF EYE-ROUND ROAST

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.

HOW TO COOK EYE OF ROUND ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Slather the roast with the olive oil on all sides, then season the roast with the salt, garlic, and black pepper. Place the roast into a large freezer bag; seal the bag and place it into a bowl in the fridge.
• 1-2 hours before you want to cook the eye of round roast, remove it from the plastic bag and let it rest on the counter, uncovered. This will let the roast rest and also removes the chill from the meat so it can cook much move evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the prepared roast into a greased 12-inch cast iron skillet or roasting pan, then into the oven on the center rack. Roast the meat, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until very nicely browned all over the top and bottom.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.; continue to cook the roast, uncovered, for 45-60 minutes, just until it reaches 125 degrees F. at the center of the roast. Begin testing the internal temperature of the roast at about the 40 minute mark to be sure you don't overcook the roast - this is very important.
• When the roast reaches the internal temperature of 120-125 degrees F. at the center, remove it from the oven, placing it onto a large cutting board. Cover the roast well with foil; let the roast rest for 20-30 minutes.
• While the roast rests, make the pan sauce. Over medium heat, add the wine to the drippings in the skillet or roasting pan; use a whisk to remove any of the attached bits of fond that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Continue whisking until the wine is nearly evaporated, then stir in the broth and heat until simmering.
• In a small bowl, combine the butter with the flour to form a paste, then add to the simmering broth, cooking over medium low for 8-10 minutes or until nicely thickened; season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Using a sharp carving knife, cut the roast into slices, across the grain. Place the slices onto plates; drizzle with the pan sauce, as desired.

A PERFECT EYE OF ROUND ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If desired, trim off excess fat from roast beef. Season with salt and pepper (and paprika, if desired). Rub meat with vegetable oil.
• 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.).

TENDER EYE OF ROUND ROAST

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.

HIGH TEMPERATURE EYE-OF-ROUND ROAST

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.

PERFECT EYE-OF-ROUND ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Rub the roast with oil. Mix all of the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Completely coat all sides of roast with the seasonings. Place roast in a 12- to 15-inch iron skillet. Put the roast in the oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Roast the beef for 20 minutes per pound. You may use a meat thermometer and cook to 125 degrees for medium-rare beef or 135-140 degrees for medium. Cool for 15 minutes before carving. Cut into thin slices across the grain of meat.
