The First Roast of 2011

Eye of Round tonight. Still don't have the right dish, but of no concern at present.

2.4 pounds of roast
325 for about an hour
450 for last twenty minutes.

Internal temperature at thickest part of the round was 120 when the roast was finally pulled. Quickly pulled, of course, because the Yorkshires are busy cooking and will be ready soon.

UPDATE: eye of round turned out fantastic, if a little rubbery. I have found that all roasts seem to do this, but the eye less so than chuck. Internal temperature is sticky. Center temps appeared at 110 when I pulled it, but everywhere else registered upwards of 140. I let the roast sit for nearly twenty minutes covered in foil, and it was cooked throughout. The juices that accumulated during the waiting period and after carving made a succulent gravy--much better than normal. Waiting to try a roast on the green egg.
