Eye of round high temperature roast

1. Defrost or pull out of the fridge, dry rub the roast with dry spices and place in a roasting pan or baking dish and let roast sit at room temperature for at least a half hour. Make sure the fat strip is up for self basting. Do not cover or add water.

2. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

3. Place the roast in the preheated oven. Roast for 21 minutes (seven minutes per pound) then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door at all during this time!

4. Remove the roast from the oven, the internal temperature should have reached at least 140 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let roast rest for at least 15 min. Carve into thin slices to serve.

5. * These seasonings make the roast taste similar to a pork roast. You can just use salt and pepper, or substitute garlic salt, lemon pepper, or oregano for these three seasonings. Worcestershire sauce doesn't hurt either.

6. Note: Save the drippings and add to a beef soup stock later to be used with the leftovers for a vegetable beef soup, if there are any!
