Eye of Round Roast

Let this guy sit in a bed of salt and garlic overnight. Then I slathered it in butter and covered it with more salt, pepper, Montreal Steak Seasoning and Herbs de Provence. Then I used the drippings for Au Jus and paired it up with a Karbach Brewing Co. Weekend Warrior Pale Ale. Good food after raking piles of dead Red Oak leaves all over my lawn all day.

Not bad eating for a little $10 roast.

Thanks. It's my first eye of round roast. I was surprised with how well it turned out. I basically seasoned it and treated it like a prime rib. While it did not taste nearly as good as a prime rib, the seasoning got the flavor profile in the ballpark at 1/7 the price. It was more tender than I thought it would be. The tenderness was close to a choice sirloin. Tri tip used to be my "go to" lean roast but I like this just as much and it's about 40% less in my neck of the woods. Looks like I won't be doing tri tip as much in the future.

Yeah. That's what I read. I wrote down exactly what I did so I can repeat it next time.
