Eye Round Wrong Way

Eye Round The Wrong Way​

I know, This was Dumb, but I had to try it!!
I guess I got so Cocky, I thought my Ninja could do anything.
Well I’m here to tell you it can’t make a Tender Eye Round all on it’s own.
That takes a Sous Vide!! Next time I’m going Sous Vide on Eye Round, and finish in the Ninja!
This thing tasted awesome, and was very edible when sliced thin.
It would have made Great Sammies if I used my auto-slicer to slice it paper thin.

Then when I reheated some for sammies, I just chopped it up & that was good too.

Oh Well, You don’t know for sure, unless you try!

About a Half of an Eye Round:

Cross-hatch cut for seasoning penetration:

Seasoned & Smart Probe inserted:

Just started, with target Temp set at 120°, and current IT of 45°:

Ninja stopped, and 42 seconds of the 5 minutes rested so far:

Ready for slicing:

Sliced enough for Supper:

Bear's first supper of Roast Beef, Mashed Taters with Beef Gravy, and mixed Veggies:

Second Night---Chopped Roast Beef with Horseradish Sauce, topped with Melted Provolone:

Bear, we learn by doing. Besides we can always eat out mistakes.
Though, the eye of round still looks like a tasty mistake to me.

 

[smokerjim]

Sure looks good bear

 

[JckDanls 07]

It looks good Bear.. it might just be that particular piece of meat...

 

[crazymoon]

Bear, That looks good to me !

 

[1MoreFord]

Eye of round calls for a crock pot or instant cooker for me as pot roast and gravy. Your's does look good.

 

[Steve H]

Yup, live and learn! It does looks good though.

Thank You Ray!!
Yup, I got a whole Eye Round in my freezer. I'll eventually be running that through my Sous Vide, and then to the Ninja for appearance & Flavor.
I still might "Thin-slice" most of it anyway.
And Thanks for the Like.

Hey I'd still pull up a seat. Looks good!

 

[bauchjw]

Looks good from here even though it may be wrong way! That would be an incredible sandwich! Thank you for letting me learn from you!

Still looks real good to me, John. I'm sure with the Sous Vide you'll get the tenderness you want with any cut. Excellent looking meals as always.

 

[912smoker]

Might have been a "mistake " by Bear standards but sure looks mighty tasty to me !

Thank You Keith!!
No, this was a typical Eye Round---Tough without Sous Vide.
I'll get the next one right.

Thank You Joe!!
Yup, we always did ours in the Crockpot, but SV is even better, because it doesn't overcook things.

I use to methods on the eye of the round.

First Choice: Sous-Vide

Second Choice: Oven which I used before I bought the Sous Vide.

Oven Directions Below:

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Season roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan or baking dish. Do not cover or add water

2. Place roast in preheated oven. Reduce the Temp to 475 degrees F. Roast for 21 minutes (7 min per pound) then turn off oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the oven at all during this time! (FYI I am using a 3 lb. roast above if it was a 4 lb. it would be 28 minutes)

3. Remove the roast from the oven. The internal temp should be at least 145 degrees F. Let set for 20 min. Carve into thin slices to serve

Thanks

Sometimes you just gotta satisfy the curiosity right?Now you know. I wonder if you could Sous vide it now for hours to tenderize? Kind of a reverse sous vide haha
