Ingredients
- 1 pkg ButcherBox Eye Round Roast
- 4 slices ButcherBox Bacon
- 1⅓ c mushrooms small dice
- 1 small yellow onion small dice
- 1 tsp thyme minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp Italian parsley minced
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil

- 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 2 sprigs basil
- 3 sprigs oregano
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Cut 3 pieces (7” long) of butcher’s twine and set aside.

Beginning with the bottom third, slice lengthwise, stopping about half way through. Fold the meat open and repeat the slice in between the top two thirds. You want a rectangular piece of beef that is fairly flat.

- Spread mushroom/bacon mixture on butterflied eye round, then roll with seam side down. Tie with butcher’s twine (make sure it’s tight to prevent unrolling).
- Preheat Dutch oven. Melt ghee and sear all sides of eye round for 3 minutes per side.
- Remove eye round from Dutch oven and deglaze with red wine. Simmer for 3 minutes, then add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, herbs, salt and pepper.
- Return seared eye round to Dutch oven, cover and place in oven. Cook for 4 hours.
