Cooking Guide:

Slow-Roasted Beef Eye Round (serves approx. 3 per 500g)

Ingredients:

• Fresh Halal British Beef Eye Round (Boneless)
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 onion (sliced)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 sprigs of rosemary (optional)
• 2 cups beef stock or water
• Cooking oil

Preparation:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (Fan 160°C) or Gas Mark 4.
2. Season the Beef: Generously season the eye round with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Brown the Beef: Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the beef on all sides for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: Add sliced onions and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until softened. If desired, add fresh rosemary for extra flavor.
5. Transfer to a Roasting Tin: Place the browned eye round and sautéed vegetables in a roasting tin. Add beef stock or water to cover the bottom of the tin.
6. Slow Roast in the Oven: Cover the tin loosely with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the cut, until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (for medium doneness). Baste occasionally with the pan juices.
7. Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly. Serve with the vegetables and pan juices for a rich, flavorful dish.

Pot-Roasting Option:
For extra tenderness, cook the eye round as a pot roast. Add the beef, vegetables, and enough stock to cover the meat halfway in a covered pot. Cook on the stovetop or in the oven at 160°C for 3 hours until tender.

Not Suitable for Microwave Cooking.
