The downside: I actually picked this recipe because I was hoping to recreate a dish that a friend's dad made years back (Mom was given the recipe, lost it, and now he's passed away and the kids don't remember the recipe), but this isn't it. The upside: I love deli roast beef, and now I can make my own at home! I used Lawry's Seasoned Salt instead of the Tony Chachere's Seasoning, but I followed the cooking instructions as written for a 2.3lb roast. The finished roast was nice, juicy and pink inside, perfect to slice thinly for sandwiches later. DH won't touch it because he's Mr. "Very well done, please", but that's his loss. I, on the other hand, like my beef about 5 minutes from mooing, so this is perfection to me (and yes, we cringe at each other's plates when we go to a steakhouse for dinner lol). I'll definitely be making this again, because I think Mom and Dad would love this, too. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 09

Was hesitant like others about just leaving it in the oven without checking on it. Turned out great. I had just over 2lbs. I quickly pan seared it, left oven at 500 for 14 min, and in off oven for 1 1/2 hrs. More tender than my usual roasts and between rare and medium rare. Looking forward to the sandwiches to be made with the leftovers. Thanks.

Perfectly pink inside and outstanding flavor and tenderness. Good job on this recipe. It’s about my 18th time cooking it this way and it’s past time I tell you it’s just right. My husband grew up on eye round and insists on it but with my cooking it’s always been hit and miss... until now. Following your high heat method it has come out perfect and tasty every time. Thanks a lot!
