Scale
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon gourmet seasoning salt
- 3/4 teaspoon C-Spice Seasoning Blend
- 1/4 teaspoon Swerve Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon rosemary olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cranberry balsamic vinegar
- 2 1/2 pound eye of round roast
Instructions
- Pat the 2 1/2-pound eye of round roast dry on all sides with clean paper towels. Removing surface moisture helps the oil and seasonings adhere; it does not tenderize the beef.
- Place the roast on the FlavorWave Turbo Oven cooking rack or in its roasting pan.
- Drizzle the rosemary olive oil and cranberry balsamic vinegar over the roast.
- In a small bowl, mix the thyme, garlic powder, gourmet seasoning salt, C-Spice seasoning blend, and Swerve sweetener. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the roast. You can season just the top as I originally did, or divide the seasoning between both sides.
- Cover the FlavorWave Turbo Oven and set the temperature to 350°F. For a more browned top, begin with the roast on the upper rack, as I did. The lower rack is generally better for the remainder of cooking.
- Set the timer for 60 minutes. After about 30 minutes, carefully turn the roast over and move it to the lower rack. If the surface is getting too dark before then, move it sooner.
- At the end of the hour, check the thickest part of the roast with a meat thermometer. My original roast needed about five additional minutes to reach 163°F, the well-done result I wanted. Cooking times vary by roast thickness and appliance. For food safety, cook beef roasts to at least 145°F and allow at least a three-minute rest.
- Transfer the roast to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
- Save any cooking juices to spoon over the beef. Slice the roast thinly across the grain and serve hot.
Notes
- The chocolate flavor comes from the C-Spice seasoning blend, not from adding separate chocolate to the roast.
- Patting the beef dry helps the seasoning adhere; it does not tenderize the meat.
- Check the internal temperature with a food thermometer. For food safety, USDA recommends cooking beef roasts to at least 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest. The original recipe was cooked further for well-done beef.
- Rest the roast before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Cooking time varies with roast thickness and appliance; use the thermometer rather than time alone.
