I got a chuck eye roast, 3+ pounds, as part of a yom tov meat package. Never had one before, what do I do with it?

Will it shred if I put it in the crockpot? I don't like tough meat and a quick look online seems to indicate it will be tough.

Not tough at all! I really like this cut. My favorite way to prepare it:
1 onion, diced
1 pk onion soup mix
½ c. water
½ c. ketchup
8 oz. tomato sauce
1 can cranberry sauce (whole berry)
pour mixture over meat, cover tightly. Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour for each pound of meat

Delicious for pulled beef

Season with salt and pepper
Pour a jar of bbq sauce- I like bone suckin sweet southern
Cover tightly
Bake on 250 for 8-10 hrs
Pull apart in the juices

Use on pizza, tacos, ontop of mashed potatoes

This roast is great when prepared low and slow. Then cool over night, remove the netting, and slice. To serve: heat it up gently in its gravy. It should be moist and super soft.
Any sauce or seasoning will work. You can play around with it.

You can use a cup of red wine instead.
Make a spice rub of a lot of spices, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, a tablespoon onion soup mix and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Rub into roast and refrigerate a few hours. Slice a few onions to cover bottom of the pan, put roast on top and pour wine into the pan. Cover tightly. Bake at 325 for an hour. Turn it over, spoon sauce and onions on top and bake at 300 for another hour and a half or two hours depending on size of the roast. Cool roast in fridge with sauce in a separate container. Slice the roast when it’s completely cold. Skim most of the fat off the sauce. Pour sauce over roast. Add more wine or chicken soup if you want. This freezes well.
The roast will come out better if you use a heavy metal or cast iron pan. I’ve done it in a foil pan and it’s fine but if you have a roasting pan you’ll see the difference.

Ladies, bringing up this thread... Reading elsewhere low and slow....or an hour per pound... So if I have a three lb roast, is it 3 hrs @ 350, or rather longer? And at what temp? Ty!!

I made my chuck eye last week. Started at 350 bec foil pan, would have done 325 in a roaster pan. Did 1 hour at that, lowered to 300, checked after 1.5 hours and it needed more time. I checked on it every 30 minutes and when it was ready it felt noticeably different. I don't remember if it took another 1 or 1.5 hours but anyway I don't how heavy it was because it didn't come with a weight printed on it. Sliced beautifully.
