Ingredients

• 3 lb Ontario Corn Fed Beef eye of round roast
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tbsp dry mustard
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 500F. Once the oven comes up to temp, wait at least 15 minutes to make sure it gets good and hot before you move to the next step.
• While the oven is heating up, pat the roast dry, and place on a rack in a small roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix the butter, dry mustard, salt and pepper into a paste. Rub the butter paste all over the roast, covering evenly.
• Place the roast in the very hot oven, and immediately reduce the temperature to 475F. Roast for 21 minutes (or 7 minutes per pound of beef), then turn the oven off and leave the roast in the hot oven for another 2½ hours. (Do not open the oven door. I repeat, whatever you do, do not open the oven door!)
• After 2½ hours, your roast should be a perfect medium-rare (145F). Slice very thinly across the grain.
