Ingredients
Scale
- 3-pound beef eye of round roast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
- Season the roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then place it in a roasting pan or baking dish. Do not cover or add water.
- Place the roast in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 475°F (245°C).
- Roast for 21 minutes (7 minutes per pound), then turn off the oven and leave the roast inside for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door during this time.
- After 2 1/2 hours, remove the roast from the oven. The internal temperature should be at least 145°F (65°C).

Notes
- The key to this recipe is to not open the oven during the resting time, which helps maintain the roast’s tenderness.
- For a more traditional prime rib flavor, feel free to add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the seasoning mix.
