Choice cut bottom round steaks

[SmokinLogs]

I’ve been reading more into the differences between usda ratings on beef here lately and when I saw these choice grade bottom round steaks on sale for 3.35/pound, I thought it was a good deal and worth trying. I know these are normally a tougher cut but they had a lot of marbling and at a good price. I hit them with some salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder then did a reverse sear, 225 on the uds with hickory and cherry smoke, then seared in a HOT skillet for about 45 seconds on each side. I let them rest covered for about 10 minutes while the homemade potato wedges finished in the oven. There came out great. Very juicy and tender. Sorry no pictures of the middle. I was too occupied with eating it to stop for anything else lol.

Yeah jj I would have guessed prime too with that much marbling. Thanks for the compliment.

Chile, I would have bought more but these were the only 2 in the case. Actually not on sale but clearance. Thanks for the comments.

for the life of me, I can't cook an outside round steak to save my life.

I use them for jerky or dried beef cure.

Those steaks look excellent. Nice find...
I find myself lately, stopping in and looking thru the clearance meat bins just to see if there is possibilities. "Addiction" good/bad ?

I always look for the best deals. With 4 kids we try to cut back anyway we can... as long as I still get some good stuff to throw on the smoker!
