Monday
Boneless eye of round (actually we are having the leftovers from last night. I cooked it using an interesting recipe from AllRecipes.com HERE. I adjusted the recipe per the comments from others because I have a gas stove and I was worried about it staying warm enough to cook the roast completely. I following the high temperature directions, then let it sit in the oven on off for 1 hour, then turned it to 200 degrees for another hour. It came out very moist but I prefer it a little more pink so I won’t cook as long the next time. It wasn’t fork tender because it is such a lean cut of meat, but it was very good. My 12-year old said she would help me make it the next time if that would help us to have it sooner. She loved it! For the rub, I just used salt, pepper and garlic powder. Next time I will try a little olive oil first and fill the pan with cut sweet potatoes, mushrooms, onions and carrots.
