Love this recipe! Made it for Thanksgiving and it came out great! Probably best if you use a roast close to 3 lbs. Mine was 2.57 lb - 500 deg reduced to 475 deg for 18 min then shut the oven off and left meat in for 2-1/2 hrs. Tented to rest for 20 mins … Came out perfect!

my roast is 1.7 lbs so I cook for 12 minutes at 475 then do I leave it for 2.5 hours or is it less?

pamthewam

made this recipe with eye round roast beef followed directions and after 2 1/2 hours it came out cold why what happened?

Cbinns2370

We have used this recipe over and over again. I recommend 6 min per pound for medium to medium rare.

perfect every time

I was disappointed. My roast did not cook much at all. I preheated to 500, cooked at 475 for 15 minutes (2 lb roast) and shut off oven for 2 1/2 hours. The outside was barely brown and the inside was still red. I ended up cooking for another hour at 350 before we could eat dinner.

Odd with a roast that size if I'd think itd be more likely to be overdone than under. Only things i can think of is the roast wasn't brought to room temp first and/or your oven doesn't hold heat well. There is a method where you start the same but instead if turning oven off you turn it down to 200 and cook to desired internal temp. Maybe that would work better with your oven

This was really disappointing! I followed the recipe to the letter. I used a Certified Angus piece of eye of round - 2.75 lbs. I took internal temps after cooking it and than letting it set in the oven . It ended up at 131 degrees. I tented it for 15 minutes. and than sliced away. The flavor was good, but this roast was just tough. The old adage about "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" is still true. Eye of round looks beautiful because it looks so lean, but the truth is for all of its eye appeal it disappoints every time. I'm done with it. Does this sound like I'm venting? You all should try it. It's very therapeutic.

Probably because yours is 2.75lb and the recipe is 3.50

I think it was more just that portboy isn't a fan of eye of round, or maybe it just wasn't a very good cut. It ended up 131 which is medium rare so the cooking method worked fine. I've used this method many times it works well with many cuts. I usually use eye of round for italian beef, slicing it super thin with a deli (let it cool first) slicer helps with tenderness. As a roast its ok, it'll never be super tender or flavorful because it has so little fat but it cooked and sliced properly its reasonably tender

This was delicious. Best eye round roast I have ever cooked.

Metaphoric

I can't figure out what the heck I could have done wrong-over cooked (barely pink)eye of round. 2.64 pounds X 6 min = about 15.5 minutes at 475 min. 2.5 he later...

tarabvaughn

I love this recipe!!! So delicious!!! I want to note though, cook 5 min per pound for rare, 6 min per pound for medium, and 7 min per pound for well. :-)
