Round Roast

Unknown

I want to do a round roast. I am thinking of applying seasoning with some onions and wrapping it in foil for the first few hours and then taking it out to brown. Any suggestions?

Mike, I would put the seasonings on for a hour or so. Sear it to lock in the juices and then wrap in foil and finish cooking.

Hi Mike - a round roast has very little fat or collagen to render, so it does not really benefit from slow cooking.

Also, with so little fat, my preference is to avoid both a slow cook or a sear, and cook it indirect at 350 until done (about 1.5 hours to 125º). Make some slits in the roast and press garlic slivers into the slits, and rub it with your choice of rub or beauty paste prior to cooking.

Be sure to slice it very thin.
