For this roast beef recipe I used an eye of round roast. This budget-friendly cut of meat comes from the hind quarter, or round, and is very lean and flavourful. This usually means that you want to cook the meat low and slow, but in this recipe, you should start the roast at a high heat, then turn off the oven and leave it for 1 hour 30 minutes or longer if your roast is heavier. The eye of the round is best (for me) when it's cooked to medium-rare, which is a range between 54.4C/130F or 57.2C/135F. But someone in the house prefer it medium-well, so I had to comproise. So if you prefer medium-rare, take it out of the oven once it hits 54.4C/130F as the roast continues to cook from residual heat.

 
  • 1kg Eye of round roast
  • 2 tbsp A mix of green, black and pink peppercorns
  • 1 tsp Hawaiian black lava salt
  • Olive oil
  • Tomato salad, to serve
  1. Crash the peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or place them in a plastic bag and smashing them with a kitchen mallet. Combine the crashed peppercorns with salt in a bowl.
  2. Preheat oven to 260C/500F. Rinse the meat and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly coat the meat with olive oil, then liberally apply the seasoning on all sides.
  3. Set the meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Do not add water or cover. Place the roast in the preheated oven and lower temperature to 240C/475F. Roast for 7 minutes per pound.
  4. Turn oven off and let roast sit in oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Do not open oven door during this time period. Remove the roast and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve it with a simple tomato salad or your favourite side.

I love the pepper crust, I'm sure that's delicious! We have the same doneness situation here. I prefer medium well, hubs want medium rare. It's not as nice for presentation but I will often just cut roasts in half so we can each have it the way we want it.

I love strong flavours, so pepper crusted sounds good to me, although I do prefer my beef a little less pink than in your lovely finished presentation.

Schwartz do make a rainbow peppercorn grinder, which I have been using for a while now, so you get that great mix of flavours every time!

Thanks for sharing and I hope that the rest of your week is good :)

Angie, I used to make this cut of meat all the time and have forgotten about it. I really like the method you used and have bookmarked it for the future. Where do you get all your great quotes?

Interesting way to cook it, I use a similar method for pasta and poaching chicken, on the stove top, bringing it to a boil then covering pan and turning the burner off and letting it sit there on the hot burner as it cools down. So easy and works every time!

Beef! I love it! I don’t eat it all that often, but when I do, I love it. This looks magnificent. I have never made a pepper crusted roast. Would you believe that I have all of the ingredients, including the black salt? I am trying this for sure!

Angie, This is my kind of healthy meal! But, we prefer our beef roasts (except a pot roast) medium rare. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

I used to use eye of round all the time but now I find it dry. Your roast looks succulent but you’re right, I prefer mine a bit rarer too. The pepper crust looks beautiful.
