PREP THE ROAST

- Pat the eye of round roast dry and season all over with salt and pepper.
- Liberally coat with Ooomami Rub on all sides.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a small roasting pan, arrange the stew meat, carrots, onion, and garlic.
- Nestle the eye roast on top of the meat and veggies.
ROAST THE BEEF
- Cook for 30 minutes, uncovered.
- Without opening the oven, turn down the heat to 300 and cook for 10 minutes longer, or until the beef temps 130 internally.
REST
- Remove from oven and tent in foil on a cutting board for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
DEGLAZE THE PAN
- Meanwhile, make the au jus with the stew meat and veggies in the pan.
- Place the roasting pan over high heat on the stove top and deglaze the pan with 1 cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits.
- Cook down until the broth has caramelized into a crusty layer.
- With a slotted spoon, remove any fat from the surface and repeat the steps two more times.
- Finally, deglaze the pan with the one remaining cup and dissolve the crust, whisking everything together.
- Strain the au jus through a fine mesh strainer into a serving dish.
