Recipe

• 1 1. open the meat, rinse and pat dry. place it on a platter, and coat the whole thing with oil, then rub the spices inches be sure to use a lot more of all of the spices, because the roast will be on the grill fore a long time, and they won't taste as strong as you think.
• 2 2. start your grill, and get it to a medium - medium / low heat, or, build a fire on one side, and place the meat on the other. you'll be roasting this eye round, and it will be there a long time, so you don't want to burn it.
