Red-Eye Beef Roast

Name: Red-Eye Beef Roast
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 2 h
Total time: 2 h 25 min
Yield: 10-12 servings.
Ingredients: 1 boneless beef eye of round roast (about 3 pounds); 1 tablespoon canola oil; 2-1/2 cups water, divided; 1 envelope onion soup mix; 3 tablespoons cider vinegar; 2 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

The addition of hot sauce zips up this cut of meat. It takes me back to spicy dinners I enjoyed as a child in the Southwest. I like to use the leftovers in different dishes-including barbecued beef sandwiches, quesadillas and burritos. —Carol Stevens, Basye, Virginia

Ingredients

1 boneless beef eye of round roast (about 3 pounds)
1 tablespoon canola oil

In a Dutch oven, brown roast on all sides in oil over medium-high heat; drain. Combine 3/4 cup water, soup mix, vinegar and hot sauce; pour over roast.

Oh my gosh!! This was the best tasting roast I have ever made in my years of cooking. Not dry and had the best flavor. I followed the recipe to the t and put it in the crockpot instead of oven and this turned out wonderful. Will make again and again. Thanks for sharing! I love Country Woman magazine. :O)

Love the ZING of the flavor! Especially the gravy! Made it Christmas for the first time (change of plans & I had to cook -no turkey on hand). The in-laws are still raving about it.
