Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Eye of round beef roast
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the eye of round roast from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 30-45 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and position a rack in the center.

Step 3

Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly over the entire surface of the roast.

Step 4

Place the roast on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to allow for even air circulation during cooking.

Step 5

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast to monitor the internal temperature.

Step 6

Roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 115°F (46°C) for rare or 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare. This will take approximately 75-90 minutes, depending on the size of your roast.

Step 7

While the roast is baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once the roast has reached the desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and immediately sear it in the hot skillet on all sides, about 2 minutes per side, until a dark, crusty exterior forms.

Step 9

Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

While the roast is resting, deglaze the skillet with the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the unsalted butter to create a quick pan sauce.

Step 11

Slice the roast thinly against the grain. Serve with the pan sauce drizzled over the meat and garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
