Eye of round on Weber Kettle help needed.

in Beef
I'm at the cottage, miles from my beloved BGE and I have to cook an eye of round roast on a weber kettle. Steak was crazy expensive and these were on sale but I'm now not sure how to proceed.

Should I cut steaks and marinate them to try to get some tenderness into them, cook whole to med rare at most and serve as regular roast beef or try something else. I am limited in what I have to work with. If I was at home I would cook rare, shave on the meat slicer, dunk in au jus and serve on buns but I haven't got ingredients for jus or buns or even horseradish. Really roughing it.

Give me your advice please. In particular how to cook this thing if you have any suggestions.

Thanks.

    A buddy of mine made these on his Traeger.  They were very good.

    Do it as a roast like pit beef, slice thin. Try reverse sear of just hot and fast. Done a few on my kettles, they come out good.

    Do as a roast and slice. Pull at 125 degrees. Sear first or later makes no difference on a kettle you have a hot side either way. If its still wrapped I would hot tub it and try to keep the water around 110 for 2 hours so its not on the grill for hours drying out.

    Do you have a thermometer of any sort???

    I Agree to do a reverse sear.

    Bank the coals on one side of the kettle, and put the meat on the other side.
    Rotate every 10 minutes or so.

    Once it gets to 115-120 (for Medium Rare), take it off, spread the coals, and sear it
    - You could go Caveman at this point and would probably get better results w a hotter fire.

    Good luck

    Weber's are fine for certain things. Could be worse.

    Webers are fine for everything they just take more attention for some cooks. I ate really good BBQ at the Atlanta BBQ competition that was cooked in a old school metal garbage can. It was as good as the multiple thousand dollar set ups they just did alot more work.
