Number Of Ingredients 8

2 - 3 pound(s) boneless eye of round (prime rib works great too!)
2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 teaspoon(s) black pepper
1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 cup(s) honey
2 cup(s) dark brown sugar, firmly packed
6 tablespoon(s) dijon mustard
1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon

Steps:

THE DAY BEFORE COOKING: Make the glaze, combine honey, brown sugar, dijon & cinnamon in a small saucepan. Simmer until sugar is dissolved.
Place roast in oven bag, pour 3/4 glaze over roast (making sure it completely covers all sides). LET MARINATE OVERNIGHT TO 24 HOURS for flavors to penetrate into meat.
THE DAY OF COOKING: Let roast sit out at least 4 hours to come to room temperature.
Heat oven to 500 degrees F. In small bowl, mix salt, pepper & flour together.
Take roast out of bag & discard marinade. Sprinkle the roast with flour mixture, making sure to get all sides. Place in roasting pan & put in oven.
Cook: 4 1/2 minutes per pound - RARE. 6 minutes per pound - MEDIUM RARE.
When done cooking, turn oven off & DO NOT OPEN OVEN OR REMOVE THE ROAST. Let oven completely cool, about 2 - 3 hours. The most important part of this is NOT OPENING OVEN!!!
Serve with remaining honey mixture on the side for dipping.
NOTE: This can also be done with Pork Loin.
