Eye of Round Roast Recipe

Step 1

Slice 6 cloves of peeled garlic in half. Make deep slits all around the meat and insert the garlic pieces into the slits on the beef. (Insert finger into slit to expand it to accept garlic).

Step 2

Rub surface of meat with olive or canola oil. Season roast with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you desire.

Step 3

Heat a cast iron deep skillet to screaming hot and sear meat on all sides. No oil needed except the oil used prior to seasoning. This is going to create a LOT of smoke. Turn on hood fan and/or open windows.

Step 7

When 2-1/2 hours have elapsed, remove roast from oven, rest for 10 minutes covered loosely with foil, carve across the grain into thin slices. ENJOY.
