Prep Time 14 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. the eye of round roast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¾ tsp dried rosemary
  • ¾ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 ½ tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp cup red wine
  • 1 tbsp butter softened
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ tsp browning sauce
  • black pepper to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
  • Pat the eye of round steak with a kitchen towel and drizzle olive oil; using your hands, run olive oil on all sides of the steak.
  • Rub the dry spice mix generously on the steak.
  • Place it on a roasting pan's rack and to the preheated oven at 400-degree f for about 15 minutes until it gets a nice brown color.
  • Now reduce the temperature to 300-degree f and let it roast for about 40 minutes or until the steak's internal temperature reaches 135-degree f. This is the temperature for medium-rare steak.
  • Once done, take the steak out of the oven. Pour the drippings into a bowl and cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 20 minutes.
  • Once done, transfer it to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the steak and place it on the serving plate. Cover with aluminum foil, so it stays warm.
  • Pour the juices on the cutting board in the roasting pan.
  • Meanwhile, pour red wine into the roasting pan with all the drippings and place it on medium heat. Using a wooden spoon, scrape off the bits on the roasting pan.
  • In a bowl, melt butter and mix all-purpose flour in it.
  • Once the red wine starts to reduce, pour beef broth and the all-purpose flour and butter mixture.
  • Using a whisker, whisk the ingredients vigorously until everything unifies.
  • Now add the browning sauce and continue to whisk the ingredients.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to let it simmer at low heat for 3 minutes until it thickens up.
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Pour it in a serving jug and serve it alongside the steak and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
