Eye Round in my Sous Vide Supreme


This was about a 3 pound “Half Eye Round @ about $3 a pound.
So I bagged it along with a pack of “Lipton Mushroom/Onion Soup Dry Mix”.
I put that in my Sous Vide Supreme, set @ 132°, along with 3 small slices of frozen leftover Prime Rib, for Supper. (Not pictured)

After 4 hours @ 132° I removed the Prime Rib slices from the SV. Then I topped the water off with Hot from my spigot @ about 120°.
We added some Mashed Taters with Butter, and some Broccoli for the first night’s Supper.
When I removed the Prime Rib from the SV, that dropped the Water Temp from 132° down to 104°, but it only took it 12 minutes to get it back up to 134.7°, and another 3 minutes to level off at 132° again.
Then the next day, at the end of 30 hours, I removed the Big Old Eye Round from the Hot Tub, and put it in a big bowl of Ice Water, and into the fridge.
Then the Next day, I put the Eye Round in the freezer for 3 hours.

Then onto the slicer & sliced the whole thing up for Supper & many, Beef Sammies to come.
I’ll add some “Splainin’ to the Pics below.

Hope You all enjoy this one—I sure Did,

Thank You Chris!!
When I was a Kid, this was the only thing I ever ordered in restaurants.
It was also the cheapest meal on the Menu.
And Thanks for the Like.

I'm a bit late to the party Bear, but you just can't beat a good roast beef sandwich...ever. Best out there. No doubt doing it in the SV the meat was super tender and flavorful. Well done sir.

I have smoked & IPed several eye of rounds. Always great flavor, but so many were full of grizzle. Does sous vide soften the grizzle, or do you just have better beef up there. I usually buy choice angus.
