Best Roast Beef

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef eye of round roast , at room temperature
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt , or more to taste
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder , or more to taste
• 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper , or more to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Make sure roast is at room temperature. Tie roast at 3-inch intervals with cotton twine; this helps it from drying out and allows it to cook more evenly. Place roast on a rack in a baking pan.

3. 3

   Mix together salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture into the meat.

4. 4

   Place in the preheated oven and roast for 60 minutes, or 20 minutes per pound if your roast is larger or smaller. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 120 to 125 degrees F (49 to 52 degrees C).

5. 5

   Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil, and let rest so juices can redistribute, 15 to 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Slice and serve.

7. 7

   Enjoy!
