How to Make 500F Eye Of Round Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. Pat a 2-3 lb eye of round roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, etc.).
  3. Place the roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. This allows for even browning and prevents the roast from stewing in its own juices.
  4. Do not add water or cover the pan. High heat searing is key!
  5. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 475°F (246°C).
  6. Roast at 475°F for 7 minutes per pound of meat. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  7. Turn the oven off and leave the roast in the oven for 2 1/2 hours. Resist the urge to open the door!
  8. After the resting period, remove the roast from the oven. Let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  9. Remove roast from oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain for the most tender slices.
