    Cut this from a whole top sirloin roast, starting to turn into my favorite steak because the flavor they have. My own bacon too

    Why is my pastrami not getting good cure penetration??

    I don’t have a problem with the meat staying submerged. But I’ll add water weight next time I find 2 briskets that I like the shape enough to go through the process

    Why is my pastrami not getting good cure penetration??

    Pretty much everything I stated is what I used plus all spice. And yes I’m using cure number 1 sorry that wasn’t really mentioned. The briskets are pretty tight tight in a container and just enough water to cover them. I’m guessing 3.5-4 gallons. Pic from few months ago

    Why is my pastrami not getting good cure penetration??

    Well I did a couple of cups on salt and couple cups of brown sugar. I’ll back the brown sugar off so it’s not so gooey next time. Little over 1 gram per pound of meat. I did boil it so it dissolves the salt and sugar better

    Biggest eye of round you have seen?

    Ya I actually lose money and time when buying the eyes with fat. I’ve stopped buying them u less I find a giant like this. Not really enough fat for doing beef tallow which I’ve done several times and mostly silver skin so not really worth saving that tiny fat cap for fat

    Biggest eye of round you have seen?

    No brisket in sight in this thread. That eye of round is just that big it looks like a bigger cut of meat. The bigger piece of meat on my tailgate is the 12.2 pound eye and the smaller one is a denuded eye that almost 6 pounds

    Biggest eye of round you have seen?

    Here is the monster eye sliced into 1/4” slabs, the bottom 4 cuts are like the normal size of a eye of round , was about 1/8” shy of being 7” wide, extremely lean to without much of a tendon running through so a sweet find!!

    Biggest eye of round you have seen?

    Found a 12.2 pounder today and had to have it. Just trimmed it and it came out to right at 10 pounds after trim and that equals 5.4 bucks a pound. I can get them with fat taken off already for 5.26 a pound but they are usually 6 pounds or so. Paid 4.42 a pound for this today I think. Here’s the...
