Fork Tender Eye Round Via SV (On Sale Again!!)


A couple months ago we finally had some Eye Rounds at a decent Sale Price of “$2.98”, so we bought 3 of them.
Now they really shocked me by having Half Eye Rounds on sale for $2.49, so we just bought 3 of them too.

I Trim-cleaned them all up, and got them ready for my "Sous Vide Supreme" (CBP, Onion Powder & Garlic Powder, and Vacuum Sealed).
Then I put two of them in the freezer, and one in my SV.

I used my proven time & temp again (132° for 21 hours), and it was Perfect.
We had one meal of Roast Beef, Mashed Taters, and Green Beans, with Gravy for the RB & Taters.
I was a real Hog this time & ate the leftover Mashed Taters and a few more slices of this awesome Tender Beef!!!

I sliced the rest up for Hot Roast Beef Sammies with Gravy, but that will have to wait for the next post, because this one is already long enough.


Thanks For Stopping By,

Bear

Love your step by steps Bear!

I used this same process on the same cut from a deer I got last week and it was the most fork tender hunka deer hind quarter I ever cooked! I used to grind the hinds into burger for sausage, or cut into jerky strips, or make dried venison, but I froze 15lbs of roasts from the last one for dinners based on this cook.

Hope you have a blessed thanksgiving Bear!

Barry.
 
Looks like another wonderful feast. Our prices are about like your regular prices and "very" seldom on sale.
 
I have alot of eye of rounds. Might have to try this. I am looking for my next SV adventure
 
Man oh Man does that look good Perfect !!!

Thank You!!
I think the price is higher because of how good these SV can make them.
The picture in my local store flyer looks just like my picture above, under my caption "Sliced just enough for our two meals:" Looks like it was made with SV too!!

Eye Rounds are IMHO Truly the best Hunk of meat to use the SV on.
It gets so Tender & Juicy, it's hard to believe it's normally a tough piece of Meat!!
And Thanks for the Like.
