Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef eye of round roast, at room temperature
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Make sure roast is at room temperature. Tie roast at 3-inch intervals with cotton twine; this helps it from drying out and allows it to cook more evenly. Place roast on a rack in a baking pan.

Step 3

Mix together salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture into the meat.

Step 4

Place in the preheated oven and roast for 60 minutes, or 20 minutes per pound if your roast is larger or smaller. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 120 to 125 degrees F (49 to 52 degrees C).

Step 5

Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil, and let rest so juices can redistribute, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 6

Slice and serve.

Step 7

Gather all ingredients.
