Growing up, we had a beef Eye of  Round roast almost EVERY single Sunday for dinner at my Grandmother's house... so I consider myself somewhat of an expert on this under appreciated cut of beef.  My Eye of Round Roast with Herb Infused Oil updates her recipe and yields incredibly juicy and tender meat - in under an hour!

So what exactly is an Eye of Round Roast?

Cut from the "Round" section of the cow - (which is basically the back end of the cow!) this meat is typically very lean, well muscled and somewhat tough. Cooked properly though, and this  Tender Eye of  Round Roast with Herb Infused Oil  is tender, juicy and absolutely delicious!!!

So, how do you cook a tender and juicy Eye of Round roast?

I'll walk you through how cook this Tender Eye of Round Roast with Herb Infused Oil...

Step #1: First,  blot your roast with a paper towel and  season it with salt and freshly ground black pepper...

Step #2: Heat an ovenproof skillet over high heat and add a little canola oil or olive oil. When the oil just begins to shimmer, add the roast and sear it on each side - about 3 to 4 minutes per side should do it!

Step #3: Then this lovely Eye of the Round Roast goes into the oven for about 20 - 25 minutes....

Step #4: While it's cooking, chop up your herbs for the herb oil....
