Stove Top Eye of the Round image

I adapted this recipe from another recipe that I came across in a Greek cookbook, omitting a couple of ingredients that I knew my family wouldn't like. It makes a very flavourful roast and is a good way to do a roast in the summer, especially if you don't have air conditioning! The leftovers make great sandwiches.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 lbs beef eye round
salt and pepper
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 cups beef stock
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Heat half the oil in a Dutch oven.

  • Cook, covered, over low heat for 1-1/2 hours, turning the meat once during cooking.
  • Remove the meat from the pan and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • While the meat is standing, make a gravy by mixing together the flour and cold water and blending them into the remaining pan juices.
  • Add a little extra stock to the pan if necessary.
