Eye round roast

 

 

I have been making my roast beef this way forever! It is perfection, IF you heed these basic tips: No other cut of meat will produce a REAL roast beef, but the eye roast!...Every oven is different, so know your ovens well. A three pound roast will cook faster in a new oven than it would in a twenty year old oven...

INVEST IN A MEAT THERMOMETER, this is the best thing you can have when roasting a beef...Be mindful that when a roast comes out of the oven it will cook in its own heat and the temp will rise. Not everyone likes a bloody roast. WE Don't.  I take mine out at 130, let it stand and it is about 135-140 when time to cut...If it is still too rare place back in oven until desired color of roast is medium well. Slight pink no red.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT TIP: BEFORE COOKING LET YOUR ROAST SIT OUT ON THE COUNTER UNTIL IT REACHES ROOM TEMP. IT WILL MAKE FOR EVEN COOKING. So, there you have it, my advice to all of you bad reviewers. Roasting a beef is not an exact science nor are the cooking times exact...keep trying! This is the best roast beef!

Good Luck!

  1 1/4 lb. London broil ( round steak)

  Score on each side (I went a little too deep with my scoring).  Pour marinade over roast and turn over making sure to get the marinade into all areas. Place in refrigerator covered and turn occasionally over several hours to marinate well for the ultimate juices to blend.

  Broiled on lower rack on HIGH 7 minutes then turn over for another 7 minutes.

    Personally Al enjoyed it medium well but I put mine back in oven for 5 minutes more.

Rest for 2 minutes and slice at an angle very thin.

Vanilla turtle Ice cream cake.

Imo ice cream cake is just that CAKE layered with ice cream , not cookie crumbles mixed in a layer and all the add ins I want.  From long ago that’s how I remember an ice cream cake to be and that’s the way I’ll always make an ice cream cake! 

Box vanilla cake mix baked according to directions.  I used a large greased cookie sheet pan.  I baked it approximately at 350°. For 20 minutes until lightly browned.  Cooled completely before removing from lightly greased pan.

It was easy to remove going easily around edges and then removing with a large spatula.  I cut it in 2 pieces to fit my large aluminum disposable pan.

Note:  double up on the caramel and hot fudge for a more decant ice cream cake!

1/2 jar or more caramel sauce(if you like lots of gooey go for it).

1/2 jar or more heated hot fudge sauce ( same with hot fudge)

Softened Vanilla ice cream ( used a whole container)

Chopped pecans to your liking.

Place first layer of cake in pan, then add some softened ice cream, caramel sauce and hot fudge.  Top with another layer of cake and sauces. Top with remaining ice cream and top with toasted pecan pieces.  Enjoy!

Ps you can use cool whip for top (optional)

ENJOY!
