Eye of round.

Ok. Out of the brine and rinsed.

Back into the fridge for now. This afternoon one will be put in the instant pot for corned beef lunch meat. Unless there is a better method for this. The other 2 go into the smoker tomorrow for pastrami.

The last eye round I Sous vided I wanted it to be more like what a Chuck roast or corned beef brisket would be like. I ran the SV @ 180 for 12 hours. Came out pull apart just like corned beef. Was tasty good. It wasn’t corned I did Mississippi pot roast style.

Sounds good, Steve!!

There are only 3 ways I've done Eye Round:
Smoke low & slow to about 145° and slice thin for Roast Beef Lunch Meat.
Sous Vide @ 131° for 21 hours for sliced Med-Rare Roast Beef.
Sous Vide @ 165° for 21 hours for Pulled Roast Beef.
Mrs Bear doesn't like corned Beef or Pastrami.

I'm half lucky. Wife likes corned beef. But not pastrami.

One of these days I'm going to pull the trigger and get a SV.

 

[Steve H]

Got the larger one rubbed with POG and a bit of MSG. And into the instant pot for 30 minutes. Then set for 10 minutes. Then vent. I'll be back.

 

[Steve H]

It ended up taking 50 minutes to finish.

It came out great. It doesn't have a strong corned beef flavor. I touch more subtle. And juicy. The texture is what I wanted for lunch meat. Firm enough to handle being in a sandwich. But tender enough to bite in pieces without having to worry about pulling it out of the bread. I can't wait to make a sandwich out of this.

 

[tx smoker]

Steve....when you make that sandwich, please make 2 as I think I'd like one also :-)

Sliced up. It firmed up quite a bit over night. I'll vac seal later when I slice the Pastrami that is currently in the smoker.

Are reubens in your future?

Thanks Bear!

 

[Steve H]

And here's the Pastrami. I'll let it set for a bit before I try it.

 

[Steve H]

Money shot. My goodness. This is goood!!!!

 

[tx smoker]

Oh my God....help me, I've fallen out of my chair and can't reach my pastrami. That looks nothing short of amazing Steve.

I never would have thought that you can get Pastrami like this from a eye of round. Thanks!

Thanks! If this is half as good as I've heard Katz is. Then that is a heck of a compliment.
