I may get some flack posting a recipe containing Campbells COM
soup....it's against my religion generally, too. But mom found this
recipe in "Southern Living" magazine and we tried it. The meat came
out meltingly tender! Very good indeed. And a great "bachelor" or
"Newlyweds" recipe. You put in the oven and forget it for about 4
hours....hee!

Serves 4-6 people

One 3-4 pound eye round roast (be sure it's EYE ROUND) This isn't the
usual cut of beef for pot roast, but it's the one to use for this
recipe.

One can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup

One packet Knorr's Brown Gravy Mix. You can also use any other brown
gravy mix in a packet...like McCormick. Try to get Knorr's first .....

1/2 cup water

One medium-ish onion, thinly sliced

One clove garlic --minced or chopped or put through a press. Add more
if you like garlic!

--------------

Place meat in a covered roasting pan. Arrange sliced onion on top and
around the meat. Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour over. Cover
the pan TIGHTLY with tin foil and then place the roaster lid on top.
Press it down so it seals well. Bake at 325 degrees for about 3 and 1/2
to 4 hours or until meat is very tender.

Budd, darlin', I salute you. It was delicious. I threw some carrots
in for the duration and boiled the spuds. We had a mixed baby greens
salad with it and Drumsticks for dessert. :-)

WhatshisnamehisnameisJamie wasn't crazy about the gravy -- he was
kvetching about the mushroom bits and picking out the onion pieces. I
wanna slap him upside the head.

Have you ever done this program with a chuck roast? Girlchild and I had
fun looking through one of her cookbooks at meat charts -- she doesn't
know from meat cuts.

Thank you for the recipe. It will be done again.

Sheesh, another fercocktah canned soup stew. Some people... just can't
resist the path of least resistance... shoulda used a $1.59/lb bottom
round, woulda been better too. You wasted a perfectly good eye round.
What you did is tantamount to making meat loaf from a rib roast,
because you're not willing to trust your ability to make an oven roast
to the correct degree of doneness. Sorry, I love you, but I had to say
it. There's a lot can be done with eye round but pot roast ain't
one... and no pot raost deserves canned soup, that's T n' A trailer
trash coozine.

I don't know why people have to ruin a good cut of meat as an excuse to
have condensed canned mushroom soup... just make up a a potful fer
crissakes... slurp it sitting in the john if you're too embarrassed
anyone will see. hehe

LOL! Sheldon, I know my customers. WhatshisnamehisnameisJamie likes
his meat well done. Gack. And it was interesting to me that in the
Betty Crock book where we were looking at the meat chart, they indicated
braising or roasting for the eye round - so phooey at you on that point.
And it was nothing like canned stew. :-P I'd be tempted to add more
water to it next time, though. And I'm glad you got all that off your
chest. "-) <g> Doe'n't bother me a bit.

Eye round isn't a good roasting cut. It's barely acceptable for a dry
roast, and then only if it's sliced very thinly. Moron Shecky talks
through his sphincter as usual.

>Budd, darlin', I salute you. It was delicious

Great! Glad you liked it. I imagine there are many different ways to
jazz up the gravy. I wanted to stick to the original recipe because it
was so no-frills and called for that soup...which I shun usually.
No...haven't tried the chuck but I can't see how it could go wrong.
Seeing that's a usual cut for pot roast. You may want to reduce the
cooking time though? After all, this recipe shocks by using the eye
round. I tried this because it's less fatty and we're watching our
weight these days. Not a drop of grease in that gravy and the meat was
nicely flavored. I plan to add more garlic next time. Carrots are also
a good thing....

It looks like this was modified from a crockpot recipe to an oven recipe.

Probably so, although a few years before Rival introduced the first
crockpot in the early 1970s, I came across a recipe for a roast made with
canned soup mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix that was cooked in a small
roaster tightly sealed with aluminum foil at a very low temperature for
several hours. I guess the concept of slow cooking has been around a while
longer.

How large, best to cook an entire roast (5-6lbs) but a half roast is
okay.

This is a fine cut, has little to no waste.

Dry oven roast, on a rack.

Make sure all silver skin is removed.
Tie with twine every inch, not too tight or juices will squeeze out as
meat cooks.
Season with plenty freshly coarse ground bleck pepper and a bit of
celery salt.
Rub all over with mild oil, I like sunflower but mild olive oil is okay
too
Place into center of 400?F pre-heated oven.
Lower temperature to 325?F.
Roast about 25 minutes per pound or until meat thermometer says
med-rare.
Remove from oven and let rest 20 minutes.
Slice *thin* with sharp knife.
Eye round is excellent sliced cold the next day, makes great sammiches
on rye.

I use it for Steak Tartar myself...... ;-)

Or for the housemate, I slice it thin and quick sautee' it, then put it
aside and re-add it to stir fry.

I've never roasted it as I'm afraid to since it's so lean!

That's a killer price. I've not paid less than $4.79 per lb. for that
cut for ages.

It also makes fantastic jerky.

Y'know, I'd treat this just like the brisket I'm making tomorrow:

2 T. olive oil
3 1/2 lbs. beef brisket
2 large onions, peeled, quartered and stuck with 2 cloves
2 lareg carrots, pelled and cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 t. salt
freshly ground pepper
1 large sprig of fresh thyme

Heat the oil in a large skillet over low to medium heat. brown the
meat on all sides very slowly. This will take about 40 mins. Turn the
meat, and adjust the heat if necessary. Transfer the meat to a 5 1/2
qt. Dutch oven.

Add the vegetables to the pot and pour in 1/2 cup water. Season with
salt, pepper and thyme. Cover the pot and, over low heat, simmer for
2 hours or until very tender. During teh slow cooking, the condensatin
of steam on the underside of the lid will fall back into the meat,
yielding about 2 cups of cooking juices. Transfer the meat to a
cutting board and cover it with foil. Discard the sprig of thyme and
skin off the fat from the cooking juices.

Cut the meat into slices and serve with the vetetables and the
degreased cooking juices.

If you simmer an eye of round for two hours you'll end
up with an extremely tough piece of meat. It's lean,
and it contains no collagen as does brisket. The longer
you cook it the tougher it's going to get.

Finish at no more than about 135 F internal. If you
want to go the braising route opt for the chuck roast.

I've had some success with it as a quasi Asian dish. I sliver a bunch
of garlic. Really a lot of garlic. Cloves and cloves. Then I stuff
the slivers into little slits I cut into the meat. Then I make a
marinade/wet rub from strong flavored things. Here's one:

1/4 cup brown sugar
6-8 pepper corns
2 cloves
2 dried chiles (medium hot, red ones like japones)
1 stalk lemongrass, minced
juice of 2 limes
1 Tblsp nuoc mam
1/4 lime with zest, minced
(approximate measures)
Buzz all into a paste in the blender.

Down here in Cow Hill, I grill the roast to medium rare internal temp.
Up there in the great white north, you'd need to roast it on a rack in
a hot oven so the rub caramelizes into a crust.

Then I slice it very thinly across the grain. It makes very good
sandwiches. Also good in a pseudo Thai salad.

Eye round I chop into half-inch cubes for low-fat chili.

It's very, very, very lean.

Low and slow. Eye of round is pretty but is a tough cut. Needs a lot of
time. Oooh, and thyme
