Oven roasted beef is a relatively economical cooking method comparing to other beef recipes. Material selections are more diverse versus the limited selections of steaks which cost a lot more. Especially the class A steakes are not normally supplied to the grocery stores, all goes to the steak cooking houses. Whereas almost any parts and any cuts can be used for roasted beef and the unit cost can be as low as half of steaks or even less I am pretty positive. Here I used a 2 lbs+ eye round cut for oven roasting. Because it is very lean, very important not to overcook it.
