Ingredients

3-pound beef eye of round roast

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Onion Powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking Steps

Season Your Roast: Begin by evenly seasoning the roast with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to infuse it with rich flavors.

Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to a robust 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place the seasoned roast in a baking dish or roasting pan without covering or adding water, ensuring it cooks evenly and browns nicely.

Roast to Perfection: Insert the roast into your sizzling oven, and immediately dial back the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Let it bask in this heat for a calculated 21 minutes, allocating seven minutes per pound to ensure it's beautifully roasted.

Let it Linger: After the initial roasting, switch off the oven and allow the roast to dwell in the lingering heat for a substantial 2 1/2 hours. It’s critical to retain the heat by keeping the oven door firmly shut throughout this period.

Ensure Ideal Temperature: Upon removal, ensure the internal temperature of the roast has achieved at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) to guarantee it's adequately cooked and safe for consumption.

Serve in Style: Carve your transformed roast into thin, elegant slices, presenting your guests with a meal that’s tantalizingly close to the revered prime rib.

This method effortlessly turns an economical cut into a gourmet experience, ensuring you can serve a meal that’s both budget-friendly and extravagantly delicious. So dive in, and let every bite of your transformed roast provide a lavish culinary experience without the hefty price tag!
