This beef recipe is easy to prepare and serve on Kaiser or onion buns. Since a beef eye of round oven roast is less tender than some other cuts, marinating and rotisserie cooking over low heat helps keep it juicy and flavourful.

Meanwhile, strain marinade into small saucepan and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Brush roast with some of the cooked marinade; grill for 30 minutes, brushing with remaining marinade. Grill for about 30 minutes longer or until meat thermometer registers 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare, or grill until 155°F (68°C) for medium.
Transfer roast to carving board; pull out forks and spit. Tent with foil and let stand for 20 minutes before slicing thinly.
