How to cook deliciously - Tender Eye of Round Roast

1. Stage

Mix garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and thyme into a paste; rub all over beef roast. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. Forty minutes into the hour, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

2. Stage

Place two sheets of aluminum foil large enough to cover the beef roast on a baking sheet. Place beef roast on the foil sheets. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

Roast in the preheated oven for 18 minutes. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

4. Stage

Remove from the oven; fold up the foil so it wraps the roast then return it to the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) and roast for one hour.

5. Stage

After an hour, check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 120-125 degrees F will yield a rare center, 130-140 degrees F will yield a medium-rare center, and 140-150 degrees F will yield a medium center. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

6. Stage

Remove roast and set it on a cutting board to rest.

7. Stage

Transfer any drippings from roast into a saucepan; stir in red wine and beef broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/4. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in cubes of butter, one at a time, until incorporated into sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

8. Stage

Slice the roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with pan sauce poured on top.
