Recipe
Marinated Eye of the Round
Time: about 90 minutes cook time, but must marinate overnight first
Yield: 6-8 servings
| 5 pound eye roast 1 cup soy sauce ⅓ cup sherry |
⅓ cup olive oil 1 tablespoon fresh ginger 4 garlic cloves, crushed |
Combine soy sauce, sherry, olive oil, ginger, and garlic in a gallon zippered bag. Seal and shake well. Add roast and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning frequently.
Preheat the oven to 550 degrees. Put roast in a baking dish, reserving the marinade, and place in the oven. After 10 minutes, turn off the oven. Do not open the oven door for 90 minutes.
Bring marinade to a boil on the stovetop and reduce. Allow to cool and use as sauce for the roast.
When roast is ready, slice and arrange on a platter. Drizzle sauce over the slices.
Notes
This dish is one that my mom has prepared for many a Christmas dinner. It is wonderful for special but busy days, given its simplicity. I find that I enjoy the leftovers even more than the dish served the night it is prepared.
