Stress-Relief Roast

Stress-Relief Roast

Stressed?

Ingredients

1 2.5 lb. eye of round roast, or other lean cut, trimmed

4 cloves garlic, cut into quarters lengthwise

2 tsp. olive oil

salt and pepper

Directions

Using a small paring knife (here comes the stress relief part), stab your roast all over in 16 spots. More if you want, but you’ll need to cut up more garlic. Insert the garlic slivers into each slit made by the knife. Rub the roast with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sear the roast in a hot, oven-safe pan, and then roast in the oven at 425* for about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to sit at least 10 minutes, then slice thin.
