Eye of Round Roast Beef Dinner Recipe
Many people think that eye of round is a tough cut of meat. If you follow my recipe you will find that it will come out juicy and very flavorful. I tend to think the secret of cooking cheaper cuts of meat is to not overcook them. If you do not like rare to medium rare then cook this roast longer than what I did.
Ingredients
- 7 pound Eye of Round Beef Roast
- 4 - 6 Garlic Cloves, Sliced Thin
- 4 Celery Stalks
- Montreal Steak Seasoning or seasoning of your choice
Cook Time
Why The Celery?
I hate to scrub roasting pans, so I've found an easy way to clean the roasting pan. If you add celery to the bottom of the pan with water. the meat, chicken, or turkey does not tend to stick to the pan. If I do not have celery on hand I will peel and slice carrots to use instead of the celery.
Preparing the Eye of Round Roast
Preheat oven to 350°F
- Cut slits into the beef and insert the garlic slices.
- Rub the meat with your seasonings.
- Place stalks of celery into the bottom of a roasting pan and add water up to the celery.
- Place the roast with the fat side up on top of the celery and into the oven.
- Cook for 2 hours for medium rare. My oven tends to be on the hotter side so you may want to adjust this time depending on how you like your meat cooked and how your oven works.
- You may want to check the roast to make sure that you still have enough water in the bottom of the pan while the meat is cooking, about an hour or an hour and a half after you've put it into the oven.
- Remove roast from the pan and let sit on a plate or cutting board for at least five minutes before carving.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Wash and cut potatoes into chunks and boil. I don't peel my potatoes as there are many nutrients in the skin. Once boiled mash, add milk, butter or margarine and 4-5 cloves of grated garlic.
I served the roast with Garlic Mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
You may want to add a salad, another vegetable of your choice and perhaps some dinner rolls. I always like roast beef with horseradish sauce.
Bon Appétit!
If you have leftovers this roast can be sliced thinly to make hot roast beef sandwiches, beef stir fry or beef fried rice. Save the roast drippings to make a delicious gravy.
Many times I will buy this type of a roast and before freezing I'll cut the roast into steaks.

Sounds delish! I just bought a roasting pan - so I have been trying to find all kinds of stuff to roast! I roasted the Turkey today so I could make your soup!!! lol
Good to know I don't have to peel the potatoes - I am going to try it!
Wow, love the celery idea, never thought of it. Will definitely try this recipe.
That looks delicious. I like to cook meat. I should say I like to attempt to cook meat. Unless you count hamburgers I've never been really successful. Thanks for the recipe.
Too bad they don't have a delicious feedback button.
vespawoolf, The celery works excellent.
RH, Please let me know how your soup turn out.
duffsmom, My husband likes to eat the celery after the roast is cooked. Carrots taste better than the celery however.
Daffy, Your Chili looks excellent. Thanks :)
A sensible eye of round roast cooking recipe with a celery-on-the-bottom bonus. Thank you, Susan, for that tip.
This recipe is now bookmarked with my recipe hubs. I had never heard of that celery tip - BRILLIANT idea!
Garlic mashed potatoes sure sound good.
Voted up and Yum! :)
Yum Yum! Guess I'd better put my dentures in to enjoy this one.
I agree with you, I hate that stupid pan scrubbing too. But I put celery, carrots and onion, It gives a great aroma and adds flavor and if you make gravy from the drippings they are so yummy. Also cheap meat in the crock pot is a real blessing!!
drjb, Glad you liked the celery tip.
Thanks Miss Olive :)
Dave, Slice it a bit thinner and you may not need your dentures. I don't find this meat tough unless you cook it too long.
nightbear, I often use onions, celery and carrots as well. Always will depend on what I happen to have on hand.
Susan you have the best recipes..Thank's again..I've never eaten Garlic mashed potatoes..Sounds delicious...
Thanks Ruby, There's a link above for Creamy Garlic Potatoes that you may like too by Victoria Lynn.
I love the flavour of celery, so like the idea of using it in this recipe, I have never cooked round before of eaten garlic mash, so am looking forward to trying this one. Thank you for sharing and voted up.
Susan it was a joke, but even the most tenderest of meats requires some chewing.
Dave, Oh okay I thought maybe because it was Eye of Round you figured it would be tough. Thanks for coming back and letting me know it was a joke :) Have a great day!
MM, Thank you, and I hope that you enjoy both the roast and the potatoes.
I love Eye Round Roast Susan, It really is a Tasty piece of meat and when cooked correctly, juicy as well...and potatoes are such a Favorite of mine...Love them! It's such an easy meal to make, thanks for sharing!

Sunshine, Aluminum foil works too and I use it quite often for many meat dishes. Thanks.
Another great recipe for me to bookmark.
