Eye of Round....

[indaswamp]

Picked up an eye of round roast cheap...$2.99/lb.

Might pot roast it with some carrots and potatoes, but thought I'd post this up for suggestions on how to cook it.

Sous Vide?

Smoke it?

What say you? (where ya at Chile???)

Now that I think about it....I might do Bear's smoked eye of round.
I have some left-over smoked brisket gravy I can add to it for more gravy and flavor......

Ant tips on smoking eye of round Bear???

Chile is probably workin.
Bear is probably asleep.
So you're stuck with me. (Talk about a turd in your smoker!)

As a very new Sous Vide enthusiast, I'd say Sous Vide and then smoke.
That would cook and tenderize it, then add smokey goodness...
Larapin Good!

I know you're a night owl. So stand by for anybody with more than a thimbleful of experience.

I love to cure. I say cure it then smoke and slice thin. Deli style roast beef.

No rush...won't be cooking them until Sunday anyway.

My local Kroger’s has big cryo-packed eye of round roasts for $2.99 lb when I stopped by earlier today. Most were between 5-7 pounds. Gonna have to pick one up.

I usually smoke mine to 115-120 and give it a quick sear all around on my gas grill to 130ish then rest. Toss it in the freezer for a couple hours then run it through the meat slicer super thin. Makes killer roast beef sandwich’s

I need to actually try to smoke one. I cure all of mine. I have some in the freezer from my beef, I will get one out and try something with it.

Why the cure though? It's not necessary for the whole muscle. Is this a taste preference?

I like to play it safe with the low temps I smoke my cured meats with. I wanted to get more smoke on it rather then hot smoking it. Thats why.

I bought an eye of round to try the cut out. I seared it, cut it into 3 pieces and cooked it in the pressure cooker for about an hour and 10 minutes, along with beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, onions, potatoes, and Lipton onion soup packet. It pulled apart but was still a bit tough, so maybe I should have cooked it even longer. An hour is a long time for a pressure cooker.

Eye of round is very lean, so maybe that's why it wasn't as tender as other cuts. I'll go back to round roast and such for pot roasts. I bet the eye of round would make awesome deli roast beef, so I'll put that on my list.

Interesting. How do you end up bring it up to temp? Do you do the same with brisket and pork butt as well?

I dont start my briskets and butts at 100 degrees. An work the temp up from there. I know people say you dont need cure with whole meats. I cure the stuff I hang in my cure chamber too

Hi guys. I picked up a small 3lbs. Eye of round just yesterday. Was not as lucky as I paid $6.00 a pound. Decided to try bears dried beef so it's resting in the fridge for the next 2 weeks. Sounds like it's a worthwhile recipe to try. What ever you decide am sure will be tasty. It's just amazing how many great cooks there are here! So many fantastic ideas! Am just flabbergasted. Mabey if I read enough some of it will rub of.lol.

I would definitely SV it. My opinion is that eye of round is the very best candidate for Sous Vide. First cut of meat I ever Used SV on and still a favorite at my house.
