Roast Beef
date
Yield: 6 Servings
Prep time: 10
Cook time: 45
Total time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 1 eye of round roast, about 3 1/2 lb., trimmed
- Salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ cup dry red wine
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425. Season the eye roast all over with salt and pepper.
- Warm a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil. Brown the roast over all surfaces - this should only take a few minutes.
- Put the skillet into the oven, insert a meat thermometer and cook until the thermometer reaches 130 (medium).
- Remove to a cutting board, and allow to rest while you make your pan drippings gravy.
- If there is more than 2 tbsp of pan drippings, spoon some out. Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the drippings and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add the beef broth slowly, whisking constantly. Continue to add broth until you reach your desired consistency, which should be free flowing, but not runny - and not thick.
- Slice the roast into 1/4 inch pieces, serve with rice or mashed potatoes and green beans. Pour as much gravy on as you like.
