Baked Eye of Round Roast

This Baked Eye of Round Roast is the easiest way to make delicious roast beef in your oven! Slice your roast beef and serve with a flavorful gravy made from the drippings.

Ingredients :
  • 2.5-3 pound eye of round roast (beef round roast) , trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
Directions :

  1. Remove the eye of round roast from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to preparing it and allow it to come to room temperature.

  2. Preheat oven to 250°F and pat the roast dry with a paper towel. Cut the yellow onion into a large dice.

  3. Combine the garlic powder, pepper, salt, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl. Rub the roast on all sides with the dry rub.

  4. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot add the seasoned roast to the pan and sear on all sides – about 2 minutes each side. Turn off heat and remove the seared roast from the pan.

  5. Add the onion to the bottom of the skillet in an even layer to create a natural roasting rack. Place the seared roast on the onions and pour broth into the pan.
