Faux Prime Rib

Every year we do a Grinch themed dinner party and invite lots of friends over for a fun Grinch night!  Since the people of Who-ville are eating a "Who Roast Beast" that's what I have to make.  Well in my mind a "Roast Beast" is prime rib and feeding a large crowd (mostly kids) prime rib is just not in the budget.  So I found an awesome way to take a cheap roast and cook it like a prime rib...making it taste AMAZING and very prime rib-esq...for mere pennies of the cost of a real prime rib.  The perfect scenario!!

So for the most perfect roast beast...

1 3lb eye of round roast
Montreal Steak Seasoning

Preheat oven to 500...no cheating, wait until it is completely preheated.  Place roast in a roasting pan and completely cover with steak seasoning...rub pretty liberally all over the roast.  When oven is preheated place in the oven and reduce temperature to 475 degree.  Cook for 7 minutes per pound (21 minutes if your roast is 3lb).

When the timer goes off turn off the oven and resist any urge you might have to open the oven door...this is critical!!  Leave the roast to continue roasting for 2 1/2 hours.  Then enjoy!!  Slice thick and serve with Au Jus and horseradish.  So yummy!!!
