Need Help with Round Roast Recipe

Marinated it in Italian Dressing overnight and cook it all day in a crock pot with vegetables you
like. Eye of Round will be tough unless you cook it long and slow or grill it hot and fast rare to
medium well done. It is a muscle that does a lot and is the same as Top Round or Bottom round.

Aloha folks,

I've been doing searches on recipes for a small, 1.5 pound eye of round roast. Anyone have any
good tried and true recipes? We don't have a

*real*

Quoted message said:

oven, only a toaster oven so our options are limited. Grilling would be good, but it's pouring
rain and rather windy due to a tropical storm

system

Quoted message said:

that's been hanging over the islands for the past 4 days or so.

Suggestions anyone?

Fire away............

Kinda difficult to roast this cut without a real oven... and that size is too small to roast anyway
but eye round is a wonderful cut, lends itself to all sorts of preparations... so, first remove the
silver skin... then slice into
3/4' steaks. Place between plastic wrap and pound the friggin [censored] outta them... thinner the better.
Then dredge lightly in seasoned flour, dip in egg wash, and coat with bread crumbs. Fry just till
golden (pink is good), do not over cook... eat as is or parmesean em.

Or, crack a boatload of black peppercorns and press lots into each pounded cutlet (no salt). Fry hot
and briefly (no more than 1 min a side). While still in the pan douche with lotsa fresh squeezed
lemon... make a quick sauce with booze from pan tailings (fond), pour over and dust with minced
parsley (curly works best) and serve immediately... nice with rice, a gorgonzola salad, and mar2nis
or a bit of the bubbly.

Next time you buy eye round get one at least five pounds, then we'll talk real cooking.

I never thought of cutlets, but that's a great idea, Sheldon! Yeah, the roast is pretty small. My
future MIL was *doing us a favor* by buying two of these small roasts. We just don't have the means
to cook it properly. All we have is a hotplate, a toaster oven and a microwave. Cutlets are a fine
suggestion, thanks!

Gotta ask, are you in student housing or perhaps in a quonset hut? I like Sheldon's suggestions; you
might also try brushing the cutlets with Dijon mustard before coating in crumbs and pan-frying or
bake really hot in that toaster oven.

And here I thought Hawaii was always supposed to be sunny. It's sunny and close to 75F here in west
TN... I'm loving it ;-)

I grill in the rain and the snow, but then I have a covered deck...

I'm a fan of Alton Brown's pot roast method. Not the same cut of beef, I think yours is more tender,
but it ought to get the job done.

Note that he calls for olives and raisins. Some people think this is weird, but it really does add a
lot of body to the 'gravy' you get by pureeing the pan drippings and cooked vegetables afterward. I
also add chunks of celery and carrot to the pan, and other stuff like turnip, mushroom and potato to
have as a side to the actual roast. And cheap supermarket balsamic works fine for this recipe.

You'll need to adjust cooking time for your toaster oven. Just start checking it every hour until it
is fork tender.

Nope, no student housing. I live in a house that has been separated out into 3 apartments. State
code prohibits more than one kitchen per house so we didn't get lucky enough to be in that part of
the house. There is such a severe housing shortage that we had to take what we could. All of this
tiny [censored]-box amounts to $1300 a month. The toilet doesn't even flush down in one turn!

Dawn, I'm going to file that one away for the other roast we have (we got two). I may just go with
the cutlet idea for tonight. Thanks! kilikini

Well that certainly sucks... glad I don't live on the islands! IIRC when I lived in Midtown Memphis
and friends across the street rented an old house divided into apartments, the kitchen was
'communal'. Too bad that isn't the case at your place. Of course, there were plenty of arguments
going on about who didn't clean up what when.

Enjoy the beef cutlets!
