Eye of Round Roast

Cultural Context

The Eye of Round Roast is a classic American dish, often served during family gatherings and special occasions. This cut of beef is known for its lean texture and is commonly used for roasting due to its ability to absorb flavors well. Traditionally, it is seasoned simply and roasted to perfection, making it a favorite for Sunday dinners. Today, variations include different marinades and cooking methods, but the essence of a hearty, comforting roast remains cherished in homes across the U.S.

1

Pat roast dry with paper towels. Press kosher salt and pepper into the meat on all sides.

2

Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT, add in the oil and swirl it around. Place roast into Instant Pot and let brown on one side for 5 minutes and then turn over and brown for another 5 minutes. Move the roast out of the pot. Pour broth into pot and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Add the roast back into the pot.

3

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When time is up, let pot sit for 25 minutes. Remove the lid. Place meat on a cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

4

Use a serrated bread knife (or electric knife) to carve meat as thin as possible (against the grain).
