High Temperature Eye-of-Round Roast
Had zero expectations for this one. Bought 2.3 lb grassfed/grass finished eye of round without a plan and then found out I can't braise it and if it's not prepared properly it can be tough and tasteless. Sprinkled liberally w/ garlic powder, sea salt, fresh ground pepper and thyme. Started in 500 oven w/ fat side up (very thin layer of fat), turned down to 475 for 16 mins, left for 1.75 hrs and got nervous b/c oven felt kind of cool on outside. Turned oven on to 250, when preheated took roast out and temp was 135. Put back in for 20 mins at 250 and then roast was exactly 144. Covered w/ foil for 20 mins. Carved beautifully. Not tough -- not butter soft either but very nice. Try it! I was pleasantly surprised. I would serve to guests without hesitation as part of a buffet dinner.
