Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 pound beef eye of round roast

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. Pat the roast dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear.
  3. Generously rub with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for even seasoning.
  4. Place the roast on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan—this promotes air circulation and even cooking.
  5. Roast for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare; adjust time for desired doneness.
  6. Remove the roast and tent it with foil; let it rest for at least 15 minutes to redistribute the juices.
  7. Carve thin slices against the grain to maximize tenderness.
