Chili and Coffee-Rubbed Eye of Round
Follow these directions and let the meat chill overnight, it really makes a difference in the flavor. For the instant coffee, I used Starbucks Via Packets.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 teaspoons grated orange rind
- 2 Tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 ½ Tablespoons chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Aioli Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice

- Combine the coffee, orange rind, orange juice, chili powder, salt, and garlic; massage mixture evenly over the roast.
- Place roast in a shallow roasting pan; and bake at 475° for 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300° (do not remove roast from oven); bake an additional 30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 120°.
- Remove roast from oven, and place on a cutting board or work surface. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Wrap roast in parchment paper, then in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Cut into VERY thin slices for sandwiches.
