A great way too cook cheap roast and make it tender!
1 (2 pound) beef eye of round roast

Lawry's salt

Chili powder
Directions
Pat the roast with the dry rub overnight if possible, or season as much in advance.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place beef in a roasting pan. Do not cover or add water.
Place the roast in the preheated oven (after ~ 20min). Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Roast for 15 minutes (seven minutes per pound or 21 min for 3 lb roast) then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 hours (2.5 hrs for 3 lb roast). Do not open the door at all during this time!
Remove the roast from the oven, the internal temperature should have reached ~ 140 degrees F (65 degrees C). Carve into thin slices to serve.
Served with sauted asparagus and mushroom with butter, garlic, sherry, red pepper flakes, dried thyme, salt and pepper AND with Scott's mashed potatos.

Plum Cake Recipe (Try with other fruit!)
I made the following cake I found off of http://skyturtle.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/easy-sunday-cooking-plum-cake-recipe/
How to make plum cake:
2 eggs
half a cup of white sugar
half a cup of oil
one cup and a half flour (I used 3/4 cup AP flour and the rest with whole white wheat flour)
one teaspoon baking soda
4-5 plums (try with sweet peaches, nectarines or berries next time)
Cut the plums in one finger thick slices then sprinkled with white sugar.
Pre-heat the oven to 360 F
Beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the oil and mix some more.
Mix the baking soda in the flour.
Start snowing the flour on top of the egg/sugar/oil mix. Mix some more. Continue adding flour until you get a creamy shiny texture.
Put the soft dough in a tray, over a layer of cooking paper.
Arrange the sliced plums on top of the dough then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamin.
Bake for 25 min.
After 27 minutes, I thought it was ready however when I cut into the cake, the middle was still doughy! I placed back in over for 15 more minutes.
Cake itself was delicious but the plums lost all their flavor. I would try this next time as a loaf with blueberries or arrange peaches or nectarines ontop instead.
