What’s the best way to prepare Eye of Round Roast?

Truthfully, I only use it for making beef jerky since it is so lean.

Like you, I like a chuck or ribeye if using beef for a roast, or I'll do a rump roast to medium rare, let cool, slice thin and put it in a rich brown gravy to finish cooking to use in making roast beef po-boys.

salt & pepper. I put the roast in a glass dish on a couple of slices of bacon. I put in the oven at 500 degrees for 5 minutes/lb. I then turn the oven off and monitor the temp until the IT is 130 degrees. I make a gravy with the drippings. This is how my mawmaw always did Sunday roasts.


ETA: I treated one like a brisket on my pellet grill a few weeks back and it wasn't bad. ended up shredding and using in chili.

Make grillades and cook it til it falls apart.

Dutch oven smothered with onions and bell peppers. C'est bon

I'm with Loup on this one, roast on high temp to a rare temp, rest and slice thin.

Grind it up and mix it with brisket, 80/20, and load your freezer with some killer ground meat that makes an outstanding hamburger.

Bulgoki.

I get it almost frozen then run it through the meat slicer at 7mm, across the grain of course.

Make a marinade:
1 cup soy sauce
3 toes chopped garlic
grated ginger
tablespoon honey or br. sugar
pepper flakes
tablespoon sesame oil
chop 3 green onions

Stir this into the meat, coating it well.

You only have to marinade about an hour since the meat is thin.

Get your grill very hot, then lay as many pieces as you can. By the time you lay them out they are ready to flip. I store in an ice bucket to keep hot until serving.

I made one last night, haven’t cooked it like this in years but I was missing my mama.

Season roast lightly (little to no salt), flour slightly and sear on all sides. Cover with 2 cans French onion soup, roast for an hour or so. Stir in 1 can cream of mushroom. Ladle soup mixture over roast every 20 minutes or so until tender. Thicken gravy as needed.
