My review
Slow-Roasted Beef for Sandwiches
bd.weld
"A fool-proof method for making eye-of-round roast for dinner or sandwiches. My warehouse store stopped selling a particular roast beef we liked for sandwiches, so I turned to this slowly roasted method to make our own."

Ready In
- Season all sides of beef roast evenly with garlic salt; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 18 to 24 hours.
- Place rack in middle position of oven and preheat to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
- Pat roast dry with paper towel and rub with 2 teaspoons canola oil; season with black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until small wisps of smoke rise from the oil. Brown the roast completely, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a rack set into a roasting pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a meat probe thermometer or instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 115 degrees F (46 degrees C) for medium-rare, 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours.
- Turn oven off and leave roast in oven without opening door until meat probe thermometer reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, 30 to 50 more minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing thin.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- I don't recommend cooking the roast past medium. If the roast has not reached the desired temperature in the time specified in step 3, heat the oven to 225 degrees F (105 degrees C) for 5 minutes, shut it off, and continue to cook the roast to the desired temperature. Without reheating the oven, mine reaches the maximum of 138 degrees F (59 degrees C), which is fine for us. Use the kind of thermometer with a probe and a long wire that can lead out of your oven.
- Use only eye-of-round roast for slicing purposes. Any other type will be difficult to slice and not yield uniform slices. I wrap the meat slices in individual portions with plastic wrap, place them in a freezer bag, and freeze. They hold up well for later use.
- If desired, roast to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium, 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours; leave in oven until thermometer reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 40 to 50 minutes.
