HIGH TEMPERATURE EYE ROUND

I've used this recipe on a variety of meats with great success!   My only regret is that I learned how to do this well into my `60's!!  Since learning, I've made one roast every week and that's about two years!  So I've done well over 100 roasts. This is a guaranteed PERFECT roast each time every time.  Depending upon your choice of rare, medium rare, medium, medium well or well done, you pick the initial roasting minutes per pound to arrive at its doneness.  I usually do nine minutes per pound.

Ingredients:  One Eye Roast  3-5 pounds     Salt & Pepper   

1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Season the roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan or baking dish. Do not cover or add water.
2. Place the roast in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Roast for from seven (7) to twelve (12) minutes per pound then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door at all during this time!
3. Remove the roast from the oven, the internal temperature should have reached at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
