Eye Round (Super Tender after 32 hours)



I had to try this—After I did a Chuck Roast at 132° for 48 hours, and it came out unbelievable, I had to try an Eye Round for an extended time.

We were really quite happy with Eye Rounds @ 132° for 21 or 24 hours, but the Chucky got me inspired.

I must say this was the absolute most Tender Hunk of Beef, I’ve ever had in my life!!

So I took an Eye Round, and sealed it up, and put it in my Sous Vide Supreme @ 132°.
I kept it in there for 32 hours, before I removed it, and drained the juice from the bag, for gravy.
Then I Dried it off, Seared it in a hot fry pan, with the help of a torch for low spots & the edges.
I sliced it up for Sammies, and for the first Supper, we added Mashed Taters, Gravy, & Peas.

Then I made some Sammies, that I’ll show off in pics, with captions below.

This was easily the Most Tender Beef I’ve ever had, and it tasted Awesome!!


Thanks for stopping by, & Please enjoy the Pics;

How I make a Hot Roast Beef Sammy, with gravy: First put some gravy on the plate, about the size of a slice of bread:

Then lay a slice of bread in the gravy, and add some gravy on top:

Then cover with slices of Beef & some more gravy:

Then another slice of bread on top, and cover that with more gravy:

Looks great! After my first one I bought a few and have them ready for the pool. 24+ on a eye is SO tender and super lean! Lean was a goal after my last cholesterol results...ugh. I am sure you know what i mean - have to be more cautious as we get further down the road.
 
Boy howdy does that ever look good Bear, Like! I love getting that kind of mileage from a single cook, nice piece of work. RAY
 
Looks awesome Bear! I know just how tender that was. The first eye of round I did was 30hr and it just melted in your mouth.
 
Nice looking sammies but still not into the SV deal wife does a fine job on eye round in crock pot always very tender not 2 days cooking either.

Thank You Sandy!!
I never had a cholesterol problem until My Agent Orange & a Dr's screw-up.
I still don't need Meds, but I'm just below the line.

Thank You Ray!!
I can't believe how Tender this Eye Round was!!
48 hours for Chuckies & 32 hours for Eye Rounds is definitely the Tender Target !!
And Thanks for the Like.

Does your sous vide timer go that long or do you just reset every 8 hours? My has a max timer of 8 hours.


I don't know how long "MAX" I can set it.
I never bother to set the timer. I just shut it off when I want to.
However I've let it run for over 50 hours, and it worked perfectly through 2 nights, without any evaporation, and never varied in Temp by more that 0.3° over those 50 hours.
As far as I know you could set it for as long as you want.
