Local grocery had whole eye of rounds on sale for 1.99 last week, so I picked up two. One turned into jerky which went off to school with my kid the other turned in to samich meat..
Nothin fancy here but it's been a while since I posted anything smoked so I took a few crappy shots to share.

The rub was some fresh made hot pepper powder along with a good covering of McCormick's Montreal steak seasoning. had the smorker running about 240-250 with some hickory smoke and waited till it hit 135° (except it was about 142 when I got back to it. :dunno) then let it rest till cooled and refriged it.
Just got done slicing and sampling it and it was real tasty, it will be a welcome change for lunches.

here's a few pic's
rubbed and headed for the smoker

Nice eye of round, Dan! You did it justice...hmm, I see a nice smoke ring, too!

Great looking RB!!!!

At $1.99/lb I would have bought all they had!!!

Cool the kid has some jerky to munch on!
 
Great job Dan! I did my first Eye Round two weeks ago. I over cooked it (went to 160*) and had to slice it by hand, but it was quite tasty all the same. Hopefully I'll get the next one more like yours.

 If you put it in the fridge overnight, then go to slice it the next day, it is easier to slice thin. I actually use my electric fish fillet knife. Works great.
 That might just be the much cheaper option than a slicer Iv been looking for. I did a pastrami and just used a regular knife but I felt it came out to thick.
 
love cooking these things! i usually use the oven though...set at 500 for 7mins per pound then let rest for 2 hours in oven as it cools

 It works pretty good. Not going to be Slicer thin, but works more than well enough for sammies. We also found that running it thru some warm au jus seems to really help the tenderness of the meat.

 
Boykjo, shame on you!  You need to send those crappies to me to take care of.  Seriously, they are my favorite eating fish, but they don't even know what they are here.  A nice string of fish!  Are you going to smoke them?  I bet they are delish smoked.  Steve
 
I agree steve.. they are my favorite fish to eat... I have the boat ready to go in the morning to get some more..... I have these filet and vacuum sealed in the freezer.. I think its time to get them out.......

Joe, I am so jelouse(sp)!!!!!  Do you take anyone out with you?  If I come to visit can we go out and catch a mess of crappie?  I can taste them now, and am drooling on my keyboard!  Steve
