Last night I made Roast beef (Eye of Round) with pototoes, carrots & onions. As a bonus, I threw in a Pork sirloin roast - my Dad's trick for getting a good gravy base since the eye of round is so lean. It was fantastic - cooked to a perfect Medium (pink and juicy in the center).
DH does not really like Pot roast, so when I said I was making Beef Roast he said "I might make something for myself" I said that's fine. Well, he really liked it and said it is a definite keeper/make again recipe.
The leftover beef will be sliced thin and used for French Dip sandwiches. Anything left after that would be turned into Roast Beef Hash - but I'm pretty sure that there won't be any left for hash.
I like the leanness of the Eye of Round Roast, but I had to ask the butcher if they ever carry them because I could never find one on the shelf. He went back and wrapped one for me and told me they don't bother to put it out because no-one buys them. It is one of the cheaper cuts of beef roast, but made right it is really good. I will definitely pick up another one. English Cut Chuck roasts are about $5.49 and I don't like the grizzle ribbon down the center of those. At $4.50 a pound, this eye of round was a steal.
I will pull the pork sirloin roast apart and mix with my Cherry Bourban BBQ sauce for pork sandwiches later this week.
I like "3-for the work of one" suppers.
