This recipe will guide you on how to make a succulent and flavorful high temperature eye of round roast. The roast is seared at a high temperature to lock in the juices and then cooked at a lower temperature until perfectly tender. Serve this roast for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds eye of round roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Rub the eye of round roast all over with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika.
  4. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the roast, pressing it gently into the meat.
  5. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat-side up.
  6. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding any bone.
  7. Transfer the roast to the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit to sear the outside.
  8. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  9. Continue cooking the roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  10. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  11. Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices.
  12. Serve and enjoy!
