I cook a lot but eye of round absolutely scares me to death. No problem with prime rib but eye of round? Maybe I have never cooked it enough …I did med rare and was like leather.
Slice on a meat slicer I assume. Great work, cooks!

These big roasts always turn out well if you cook it in plenty of liquid and low and slow. Then it just falls apart, which is what we want for French dip. Sometimes it’s closer to 5 1/2 hours, and add more water if it gets dry at all. Keep about 2 inches of liquid in the pan and keep tightly covered.
