Eye of round.

[Steve H]

Stopped at the store on the way home after seeing my dad. And they had eye of round roast on sale for 2.99 a pound. I grabbed what they had left on the shelf. 6 packs at around 2-3 pounds each. I'm using 3 of them. And using SmokinAl 's brine/cure recipe.

Brine ready and meat put in. Then I realized I forgot to inject! Took them back out of the brine. And injected as much as I could into each one.

I'm thinking that a 2 week soak should be enough.

I saw your thread on corned beef. That came out great.

Sounds like a good batch of meat you have going. I just pulled out my last batch of pastrami I made from knuckle. I am going to definitely use eye of round next time too.

Oh that’s gonna be good, decent price on the eye round. It’s been creeping in price here, right now it’s $3.60 lb.

Last year I bought it at $1.97lb, it all went to jerky, wish I had more to do some pastrami.

 

[Steve H]

The wife is bugging me to make jerky with the rest of it. I'm pushing back, a little. Because I want to do some dried beef with the other 3 packs.

Too bad you bought it all, seems you need more lol.

I know, right. I'm thinking about stopping there Wednesday to see if they have more.

Sounds Good, Steve!!
$2.99 is my "Buy At" Price. That's the Low it stops at around here.
Sometimes they are Whole Roasts about 6 pounds, and sometimes they're packed in Halves @ about 3 pounds, like you got there.
I like them for Dried Beef & to put in my SV @ 132° for 21 hours, for Hot Roast Beef Sammies & such.

Be Back for Final Pics,

Bear

Just a comment .
Last time I did eye round into pastrami , I sliced some ( after smoking ) and further dried into jerky . It's pretty good .

I never thought about that. I might just give that a try. Thanks for the idea.

Haha!

That's a great price on eye round. I've been watching prices as I need to make more jerky. Right now eye round here is $8.99/#. Ouch!

Just a week ago it was over 5.00 here. And that wasn't very good looking eye round either. These required zero trimming.

 

[Fueling Around]

Great price on eye. $3.50 is my jump point.
Dried beef is my preference and my 2 small eyes in the freezer will go for that delicacy once I get the chance

Very intriguing on making eye pastrami and then into jerky
