==================
I agree the eye has no fat and so I can never make any gravy from it. I did
make a recipe using an eye of the round on the grill once, and it came out
very good. I marinated it Catalina dressing with a little garlic and maybe
a little vinegar; and then I grilled over indirect heat on the grill and it
was excellent. The Catalina dressing gave it lots of flavor. I did find
the following recipe link on line that is similar but does not use Catalina
dressing. I did not grill carrots with it as the following recipe shows.
