Beef Eye Round (Finally!!)

Beef Eye Round (Finally!!)


Finally, after months of watching for Eye Round on Sale, “Weis” Market had it marked down from $5.99 to $2.98.
So we got 3 Eye Rounds, about 18 pounds of it.
I Trim-cleaned them all up, and got them ready for my Sous Vide Supreme. Then I put two of them in the freezer, and one in my SV.

I used my proven time & temp again (132° for 21 hours), and it was Perfect.

We had one meal of Roast Beef, Mashed Taters, and Green Beans, with Gravy for the RB & Taters.

Then I had a nice slice of Roast Beef with my Eggs the next morning, heated up in a Pan with the Eggs.

I sliced the rest up for Hot Roast Beef Sammies with Gravy, but that will have to wait for the next post, because this one is already long enough.


Thanks For Stopping By,

Bear

Very nice and good price.

Awesome beef cook. And some balls you got there.

No Costco close to you? Around here no one can beat costco's price for eye of round. Sometimes i buy one and grind it - as ground meat is more expensive.

Looks awesome Bear. Is the Eye now your favorite cut for SV? I recall a chuckie yields more of a rib roast which sounds incredible if you ask me. One thing I never really thought about SVing until now is the ability to cook a roast in the blazing days of summer without the oven heating up the house.

Looks "Delish" Nice indeed and a great price. Gunna make some great Sandwiches too.

Looks good Bear!

I just bought an eye round this past weekend. I made Jerky with it.

I paid $2.94 lb. at Hazle Park. That seems to be their normal price. My local Weis doesn’t carry the full roast.

I plan on buying more once the weather turns cooler. I want to follow your SV for eye round...make more jerky...and cure, smoke and SV a pastrami.

We just got one about 10 miles from here, but we figured we wouldn't use it often enough to make up for the Membership Fees. I pretty much don't leave home, so Mrs Bear does all the shopping.

Eye round is one of my favorite cuts to Sous Vide. I haven't tried 21 hrs yet, I will have to give that a try, next time someone has it on sale.

So far Eye Round is my second favorite to SV, right after Chucky.
Eye Round is Great for Hot Roast Beef Sammies when SV'd, but I don't like the texture for deli type sliced beef from SV.
I'm going to do the other two eye rounds I got, in my Smoker & slice thin for Sammies.
And Thanks for the Like.

Looks great, I just grabbed two myself, discount bin not on sale. Got them in the freezer for Italian beef sammies soon.

Looks great bear. Nice plate of chow you got there. I really like RB, maybe just a thinner slice.

Point for sure.

We used to have a Membership to the one in Quakertown, but that's more than a half hour away, and we rarely got there.

My Weis usually has 3 pound "Half" Eye Rounds, but this time they had Whole Eye Rounds, all in the 6 LB range.
I smoked the other two today. Boy are they Great!!
Don't forget to add "Dried Beef" to that list !!

Bear, I tried this method this past weekend and the results were amazing! Only difference was that I seared the meat after SV.
Thank you for sharing your tips on this forum.

I'm glad you liked it !!
I often sear after SV, but when I'm gonna slice it real thin & it's only for Me & the Mrs, I sometimes don't bother searing.
