I was worried that there wouldn't be much flavour in this roast - added 1/2 sliced onion and a bay leaf to the pan, didn't add water as some others did - the flavour came out great, but it was a bit overdone for my taste (we like rare roast beef) - I would cut the cooking time to 12 - 15 minutes per pound, but otherwise this was very tasty & so easy!!

This is a fantastic recipe! The important thing to remember is the cut of meat is eye of round roast. (The poor review by cdbooksearch is way off base for this type of cut) I did add a cup of water and a chopped onion to the roasting pan and the aus jus is out of this world--watch it carefully, though it may get dried up, but just add more water if needed. I've made this three times and it was perfect each time. If I only had a slicer to slice it really thin like the restaurants do, it would be even better. Thanks, Cindy, my search for the "holy grail" of roast beef making has ended successfully!

Excellent!! Excellent!! Served a 5 lb Eye of Round Roast according to cooking times posted and was rewarded with a mouthwatering dinner receiving compliments all around. I added sliced onions and mushrooms to pan cooking the same amount of time. For my first time, the meat wasn't overcooked. Thank you Cindy for an easy, delicious recipe that will be used often.

This really is a foolproof recipe...even the most novice cook can't mess this up. I was a little concerned about using the kosher salt before roasting the meat as salt tends to dry meat out. I used it anyway and followed the recipe almost exactly...I did add some oregano and basil. The result was a tender, juicy, perfectly cooked roast. I'll be using this one time and time again and would recommend it to all to try!

I was looking for a recipe for a pot roast in the oven instead of the crock pot, because I had never done it that way before and was tired of the crock pot versions. This turned out great! I read the reviews and was worried about dryness so I put 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of the pan. I also put 1/2 bag of baby carrots in with the raw meat before cooking. I inserted slivered cloves of garlic into the roast. Both the meat and carrots turned out tender and flavorful. The meat wasn't dry. I cooked it to well-done also. Served with the carrots, mashed potatoes, asparagus, green salad and gravy that I made from the drippings. Good, down-home cookin', I tell ya!

Cheers to Cindy, because simplicity is the key and knowing your oven is crucial. I agree with the others that the seasoning is perfect . It may not seem like alot, but a little goes a long way. I used a 3 1/2 lbs. top round london broil, and roasted it at 375, and added an additional 10 minutes for the half pound, and i took it out and the meat read 140 which is way too hot for medium rare, because once the roast rests for about 20 minutes the meat will continue to cook and finish off at 150 to 155 which would make it well. So, i immediately removed the roast and put it on a plate and placed it in the fridge for a half hour, and this worked in halting the cooking process. As a result, my roast beef was medium to medium well, which means it was a light pink. Still very flavorful with the seasonings and tender, but not perfectly red medium rare. The lesson here for me was that my gas oven cooks hotter and it's important to cook this roast on the bottom shelf; mine was on the middle rack, and next time, i'll remove the roast when the meat thermometer reads 120, which when done finishing outside the oven, will be about 135-140. Again, thanks to cindy for coming up with a very simple and delicious recipe.

The only beef I had in the freezer was sirloin and I needed a quick healthy dinner for my husband. Instead of running to the store, I went ahead and used the sirloin. I sliced the beef into 1/2 inch thickness and cooked 4 slices. I followed the suggestion to brown it first stovetop with the seasoning (I used a tablespoon of olive oil), before putting it on a baking dish, and poured beef broth over it. I then sprinkled freshly-minced garlic and baked it for 20 minutes at 375 deg. It was delicious! I served it with pan-fried asparagus and rosemary-flavored redskin potatoes. The whole meal looked so fancy, and it took less than 45 minutes to prepare altogether. My husband raved over it!!! Thanks to the original poster of the recipe, and to everybody else who put in their modifications. Thank you all!!!!

This roast turned out very good. My roast was mostly frozen so I increased the bake time by 10 min. per pound. I liked how brown the roast got at 375 and alot of pan drippings for gravey. I think I will cook all my beef roasts like this from now on.

This was delicious! The beef was moist, tender and flavorful. After working a long day, my husband came home and I had it on the table, ready for him (timing was right-on)and he raved about it until he fell asleep! It seems the way to a man's heart is STILL his stomach...and this recipe helped pave the way! Way to go Cindy!

The whole family loved this--it was tasty and quick and the timing was perfect--I did season ahead of time so it did marinate for a few hours giving it great flavor. I made an "au jus" sauce to go with it using the drippings from the meat (very little with a lean eye round) a can of low sodium beef broth and a dash of kitchen bouquet

this always works out great - I use this as a basis for my cooking time and I usually add to my meat- olive oil, fresh rosemary, chop up a few cloves of garlic with salt and pepper and it turns out so yummy! :)

Very good seasonings....and tasty. I really liked the way that this turned out, but the only complaint is that it turned out dry. I tried this again...adding a cup of water to the bottom of the pan and made a gravy out of it. I thank you for the recipe.

I prepared this using a 2lb tri-tip as an alternative to grilling the tri-tip over indirect heat. I seasoned the tri-tip per the recipe - 1/2tsp kosher salt, 1/2tsp garlic powder, 1/4+ tsp fresh ground pepper, and added a 1/3 cup beef stock in the roasting pan. I browned the seasoned tri-tip in the roasting pan over high heat, then added the beef stock before putting it in the oven uncovered. I must say that this formula of seasoning is perfect...not too salty as they have a tendency to be. Also, the suggested cooking temp/time formula was dead-on for a perfectly done tri-tip. Grilling a tri-tip is still fun, and traditional, but this is a great alternative which I'll use again.

Very good, the blend of spices was tasty. I seared mine in a pan first, then cooked it at 350 degrees instead of 375. It took about 2 hours to get to medium rare (for a 3 lb. roast.) I also added 1 C of water to the bottom of the baking dish so I could make gravy.
