Mississippi eye round roast

[CaseT]

Went to camp with some friends this weekend. I cooked a Mississippi roast for all of us on Saturday night. Normally a Mississippi roast would utilize a cut like chuck roast. Also you normally would cook this in a slow cooker or instapot. One could do this in a dutch oven too.

I have used this with trip tip and leaner cuts as a marinade, then boil the marinade for a sauce. Which is what I did for this cook. Roast went into the marinade on Thursday, cooked on Saturday.

Mississippi Roast:

2-4 pound roast

1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 packet Au Jus mix
1 small (16oz) Jar sliced pepperoncino
1 cube of butter (only use if cooking in slow cooker or instapot, dutch oven. Omit if using as marinade).

If cooking in slow cooker, instapot, dutch oven place all ingredients into cooker. Turn on for however long you'd normally cook a pot roast. Serve roast with sauce formed by cooking.

If marinating and cooking on the smoker or bbq, mix all ingredients into whatever you're going to marinate in. Add roast and marinate in fridge for at least 8 hours.

Set up smoker or bbq for the type of roast you are cooking. Remove roast from marinade (reserve marinade). Cook roast to your liking.

Boil down the reserved marinade and serve as a sauce.

My friends like their beef more done than I so rather than mess with slicing and then grilling more. I just took the roast to 145° then let it rest. Cooked on my friends GMG portable pellet pooper.

Always makes a tasty meal. I piled mine on a cheesy bun, yum!

Case, there is NOTHING like camping in style! I like the use of an eye roast for the method, they are often cheaper than chuck here, I will give that a shot!

Thank you! We eat well when we go camping!

Eye round is 1/3-1/2 the price here. Plus I had some in the freezer as I use it for jerky making.

Looks great Case, great pictures too.
I do have a question though. The marinade uses the first three ingredients.
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 packet Au Jus mix
1 small (16oz) Jar sliced pepperoncino
Two dry packets and the jar of pepperoncino. Isn't that a very dry marinade, doesn't seem like there would be enough liquid to boil down into a sauce with the Au Jus and the ranch absorbing all the liquid from the pepperoncino or am I missing something?

Thanks Rich.

Usually the roast will release liquid as it marinades. I've never had to add any more liquid than the juice from the pepperoncini. Its not super saucy but seems to work well. When doing it in the slow cooker you get more.

In the slow cooker I drop a stick(yep, WHOLE STICK) on and walk away!

Case, looking good and food always taste better when your camping. We had some great tasting food when we were camping years ago.

Thank you! A good friend of mine who's a master woodworker, boat wright, craftsman carved "Bill" on our first camp after winter. So now Bill travels with us.

As for the hat, its from the top of a Brokers Gin Bottle. The hat has adorned several yard gnomes, a frog and now travels with Bill.
