Don't believe the sear is a safety factor for SV and done for flavor only. Last one I ran I didn't sear at all and was still tasty but I injected. I don't see a clear consensus on the sear, some do first, some after, some both times. Our local famous roast beef is a mild take on it and no sear. I am dead set on replicating it and SV has got me pretty close.


I read somewhere that some do prior to SV for killing surface bacteria.
However I usually sear after, for Appearance. And sometimes when it's just Me & Mrs Bear, I don't sear at all, because we don't care what the surface looks like, when it's sliced Thin.

Just My 2 Piasters,
Bear

I didnt think it was a saftey factor myself. I just followed what the article said to do. I'm prety new to the whole SV thing so i wanted to try something tried and true. I usually do that with any recipe. Then make changes. I hate when people give bad reveiws on recipes and then say all the things they changed lol.
 
Cant wait to do a eye of round this way! I have been doing eye of round for my RB sammy's for years. Brined and cooked to 125 and sliced thin.

Now I get to do as a roast that will be fork tender, so looking forward to this!

Eye Round gets the most tender results through SV of all the meats.
However to be perfectly honest, IMO the best way to make Roast Beef Lunch Meat is still to Smoke it to your favorite Rare IT, and then slice it very Thin. That still makes the best Roast Beef Sammy of all.

I have a 6 pounder in the brine right now. I might just SV a 2 lb piece and roast the rest.

Thanks! We really enjoyed this meal. My 6 year old is not a fan of whole cut meats like steak. (Texture thing i think) but he has repeatedly asked when we were gong to have this again. As soon as i see a sale on these I'll be stocking the freezer!
