This easy-to-make Go Red main dish can be served with your favorite vegetables.

Ingredients

Servings  8  

For the Roast:

  • 2 lb. eye-of-round roast (all visible fat discarded)
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

For the Rub:

  • 1 tsp. pepper ((coarsely ground preferred))

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the rub ingredients. Sprinkle over both sides of the beef. Using your fingertips, gently press the rub so it adheres to the beef.
  3. Heat a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the beef for 8 minutes, or until seared on all sides, turning every 2 minutes. Leave in the skillet.
  4. Roast for 40 minutes, or until the beef registers 145°F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. The beef will continue to cook while standing, but don’t let it overcook or it will become tough.
  5. Meanwhile, add 1/2 cup water to the pan drippings. Bring to a boil over high heat, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by three-fourths (to about 2 tablespoons), stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
  6. Stir in the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Slice the beef diagonally across the grain. Arrange the slices on a serving platter. Drizzle with the reduction.
