We had Roast Beef Sandwiches tonight and they were wonderful!  Bought an eye of round on sale and made this EASY recipe . . .


Eye of Round

(So Easy – Best Roast Beef Sandwich Ever)

 

1 3 lb. beef eye of round roast                      salt, pepper & garlic to taste

 

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.  Season the roast with salt, pepper and garlic and place in a roasting pan or baking dish.  Do not cover or add water.  Place the roast in the preheated oven.  Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees.  Roast for 21 minutes (7 minutes per pound), then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 ½ hours.  Do not open the door at all during this time!  Remove the roast from the oven, slice thinly and serve.  I like to serve with a horseradish and sour cream sauce.  (some people like it mixed with mayo).

One Dressing - Several Ways!

You can make this dressing as shown.

OR . . .  Use Feta Cheese instead of Bleu Cheese for a wonderful and very different dressing.

OR . . . Use Feta Cheese and add cilantro for an amazing dressing for a Fajita Salad!!!!


Dressing – Yogurt Bleu Cheese

Better Than Any Bottled Dressing I Could Buy
 

1/3 cup mayonnaise                                     1 Tbsp. lemon juice

3 cups Greek yogurt, drained for 1 hour         ½ tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. onion or chives, minced                     4 oz. Roquefort or Blue Cheese

                                                                   A pinch of sugar (literally a pinch)


Combine all except cheese, mix well and blend flavors.  Fold in cheese, crumbled (not too fine).  Store covered in refrigerator.  Best if made a day ahead.
