Eye of the Round

This turns out a great Eye of the Round every time.  

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.  Season the roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rub all over with butter.  (If you are feeling ambitious, insert garlic cloves inside the roast).  Place roast in pan or baking dish, and DO NOT COVER and DO NOT ADD WATER.   

Place the roast in a preheated oven, but begin by reducing the temperature to 475 degrees.  Roast for 7 minutes per pound.  (3 lb roast would go in for 21 minutes). 

Turn off oven after the initial heated roast.   Let meat sit in hot oven for 2 hours. 

After the first hour, remove roast to brush over with juices and insert meat thermometer.  Set alarm to notify when internal temperature has reached 135.
