Poor Mans Prime Rib Guide (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tablespoon salt
02 -
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
03 -
½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
04 -
½ tablespoon garlic powder
05 -
½ tablespoon onion powder
06 -
½ tablespoon paprika, regular or smoked
07 -
3 pound beef eye of round roast, room temperature
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
02 -
Add salt, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to a small bowl. Mix together to combine.
03 -
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the beef roast and rub it well to coat the roast completely. Some seasoning blend may remain unused.
04 -
Place the seasoned roast into a roasting pan or baking dish without covering or adding anything else.
05 -
Place the pan in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast for 7 minutes per pound (e.g., 21 minutes for a 3-pound roast). If the crust browns too much, loosely cover with foil.
06 -
Turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven undisturbed for 2 to 2.5 hours. Do not open the oven door during this period.
07 -
Remove the roast from the oven. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the roast on a cutting board and carve into thin slices. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Position the fat layer facing up for juicier, crispier results.
02 -
Allow the roast to rest in the oven without interruption for proper doneness.
03 -
Test this recipe in your oven to ensure precise timing before a larger occasion.
04 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
