Our roast turned out ok. Eye round can be tough, but I get it because it is lean. Kids freak out if they see fat and will not eat a pot roast. I need lean as well. I used a high heat method. Start oven at 500 degrees. Put roast in, lower to 475, leave cooking 7 mins per pound, turn oven off, and *do not open* for 2.5 hours. It was pretty tender, and juicy. Pink, not rare, but the juice ran very red. So I heated the juices to make a brown au jus.
We had baked potatoes(sweet for me and dh, russet for kids), asparagus, strawberries, romaine salad with tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette..
