Roast Beef

In an effort to make some good sandwich/snack meat for the week, I decided to make some roast beef.  I've been messing with marinades, and cuts to use, and I think I have a winner.

Roast Beef
3ish Pounds of beef (I used eye of round)
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
2 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
2 Tbsp Honey, or to taste
1/2 cup Chopped Onion


  1. Mix everything but the beef together.
  2. Add some more honey to taste. Some honeys are sweeter then others, so make sure to check.
  3. Drop the meat in.
  4. Let it marinate for a day or so in the fridge. But take it out a couple hours before cooking.
  5. Preheat over to around 180 or 190.
  6. Heat up a pan on the stove top and sear all the sides of the beef.
  7. Put the meat on a roasting or broiling pan.  Something that will let the juices drop off.
  8. Cover the whole pan in foil.
  9. Bake in the oven for several hours.  After 2 hours check every 15 - 30 minutes. You're aiming for about 140-150 internal temp, depending on how red you like it. 
  10. Take it out of the oven and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. 
  11. It's ready to eat, or cover and store in the fridge.  It'd last a couple days at least. I bet it would freeze well as well.
  12. Feel free to use the pan juices to make a quick sauce. Or just strain it for a nice jus with your french dip.
