Eye Round Roast Recipes FAQs

What is an eye round roast?

Beef eye round roast is an inexpensive, lean cut of beef from the hindquarters of the cow, also known as the "round". It's flavorful and perfect for roasting or slow-cooking! In fact, beef eye round roast is so deliciously flavorful while being budget-friendly that it's also called the "poor man's prime rib". Cooked to perfection, eye round is the best way to enjoy a holiday roast beef dinner on a budget.

How do I tenderize a roast beef?

The key to moist and delicious roast beef is to first sear the beef for 15-20 minutes at a high temperature, then cook it slowly over low heat. I like to also give it a good coating of olive oil and seasoning and roast it at a high temperature first, then a lower temperature.
I always recommend cutting all roasts against the grain after letting it rest under foil. This will give you the most tender slices.

Eye of Round Roast Ingredients

• eye of round roast trimmed - leave the fat on one side
• olive oil
• roast beef seasoning
• sweet potatoes sliced thinly
• fresh corn
• grape tomatoes halved
• green onions sliced thinly

I love to use a sweet and salty beef rub. This is a brown sugar rub made with Spanish paprika, pepper, garlic powder, and sea salt.
