Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. eye of round roast trimmed - leave fat on one side
  • 4 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 recipe sweet and salty beef rub
  • 4 large sweet potatoes sliced thinly
  • 4 fresh ears of corn
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 green onions sliced thinly

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
    Brush eye of round roast with olive oil on all sides, then season with sweet and salty beef rub.
    Pat the rub down into the beef to give it a nice coating, but save some of the seasoning to season your veggies with!

Notes

  • Season everything from the beef to the sweet potatoes and roasted corn salad with the brown sugar rub. This gives the dish so much flavor and ties everything together!
  • Let your roast rest for 15 minutes before carving it. This locks in the juices and helps keep it tender.
  • Slice against the grain, always!
