I do most of the cooking at my house and have found that my bunch likes roast done like this:

1. Oven at 375 F.

2. Brown roast on all sides in oil.

3. Put roast into oven proof dutch oven or cook pot with lid. Eye of round is pretty lean so add a little oil with it.

4. Add an envelope of Lipton onion or beefy onion soup and 2-3 cups of water.

5. Roast for 1/2 hr. at 375 F.

6. Turn down to 300 F and roast for 1 hr more.

7. Remove roast and liquid from pot. Deglaze with cheap red wine and add roast and liquid back along with cut up potatos, carrots, onions, etc... Add more water if necessary to prevent dring out.

8. Back to the oven. Roast at 300 F until veggies are done about 1 hr.

9. Remaining liquid makes awesome gravy.


Works every time. Best with a chuck roast because it has its own fat but works with any roast. Good luck with whatever you choose!
