Roast beef comes in three rounds: bottom, top and eye of round. The eye of round roast is the most tender of the three. One method of cooking the eye of round is to use a crock pot. The slow cooker will keep the juices in the eye of round roast as well as allow you to cook the vegetables along with the roast. You can set the slow cooker up in the morning and then just remove and serve the food at dinner time.
