Sous Vide Eye of Round Roast Beef

from ButterYum

makes one 3 to 5-pound roast

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 to 5 pound eye of round beef roast

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or half fine table salt)

  • freshly ground pepper

  • oil for searing

DIRECTIONS

  • (24 hours ahead) Dry roast well with paper towels and sprinkle kosher salt evenly all over; place roast in a gallon-size sous vide bag, vacuum sealer bag, or freezer bag and squeeze out as much air as possible..

  • Place bag in water-filled sous vide container; use a binder clip to anchor the bag so it doesn’t interfere with the circulating water.

  • Set sous vide circulator to your desired finished temperature (see chart above) for 22-24 hours (cover container with lid or plastic wrap to keep water from evaporating; adding more water if/when necessary).

  • Remove roast from bag and dry well; sear all sides (2-3 minutes per side) in a hot skillet with a tablespoon of oil. Slice and serve immediately.
