What’s the best way to prepare Eye of Round Roast?

My GF just bought one and I’m not familiar with this cut. I’m a chuck or ribeye roast kind of guy. So I’m not sure how to approach this very lean cut. I think my mom used to make this cut for Sunday roasts back in the day. Should it be braised in the oven for several hours in a Dutch oven or should it be more of a quick seer grill type preparation? Maybe cube it up for stew?

Truthfully, I only use it for making beef jerky since it is so lean.
Like you, I like a chuck or ribeye if using beef for a roast, or I'll do a rump roast to medium rare, let cool, slice thin and put it in a rich brown gravy to finish cooking to use in making roast beef po-boys.

This or sous vide. Slice thin serve with gravy made from the drippings over rice.

salt & pepper. I put the roast in a glass dish on a couple of slices of bacon. I put in the oven at 500 degrees for 5 minutes/lb. I then turn the oven off and monitor the temp until the IT is 130 degrees. I make a gravy with the drippings. This is how my mawmaw always did Sunday roasts.
ETA: I treated one like a brisket on my pellet grill a few weeks back and it wasn't bad. ended up shredding and using in chili.

You could do some Baltimore Pit Beef sandwiches. They are usually done with Top or Bottom round but you could use Eye of Round if you are really careful to not to overcook it.

I reverse sear it; it doesn't take much time to come out perfectly. Apply your favorite rub, stick it in a 225 degree oven until it hits 120-125, rest it a few minutes while you heat up and oil your cast iron, sear it on all sides then slice it against the grain. Lean but tasty roast that's pretty cheap.

I'm with Loup on this one, roast on high temp to a rare temp, rest and slice thin.

This is the only way I've done it. I should probably give the reverse sear method a shot. You want this cooked rare like this either way and sliced thin as you suggest.
You can smother it down like a pot roast as others have suggested, but it's about the worst cut available for doing that.

Grind it up and mix it with brisket, 80/20, and load your freezer with some killer ground meat that makes an outstanding hamburger.

Bulgoki.
I get it almost frozen then run it through the meat slicer at 7mm, across the grain of course.
Make a marinade:
1 cup soy sauce
3 toes chopped garlic
grated ginger
tablespoon honey or br. sugar
pepper flakes
tablespoon sesame oil
chop 3 green onions
Stir this into the meat, coating it well.
You only have to marinade about an hour since the meat is thin.
Get your grill very hot, then lay as many pieces as you can. By the time you lay them out they are ready to flip. I store in an ice bucket to keep hot until serving.

I made one last night, haven’t cooked it like this in years but I was missing my mama.
Season roast lightly (little to no salt), flour slightly and sear on all sides. Cover with 2 cans French onion soup, roast for an hour or so. Stir in 1 can cream of mushroom. Ladle soup mixture over roast every 20 minutes or so until tender. Thicken gravy as needed.
