How do you cook a two pound bottom round roast so it is not tough?

- 2 pound bottom round roast

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.

3. Season the roast with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides in the hot oil, approximately 5 minutes.

4. Place roast in the preheated oven on a cast iron pan or skillet or another metal pan.

5. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the roast is cooked to the desired doneness.

6. Remove from oven and allow roast to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

* Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the roast is cooked to the desired doneness.

* Don't overcook the roast, or it will become tough.

* Let the roast rest before slicing and serving so that the juices can redistribute.
