Homemade roast beef

[newbiesmoker]

If you were to make roast beef at home, what cut would you use? I like Arby's but I think I can do better for cheaper. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Top or bottom round. Cooked to about 125F IT, rested then sliced. This will be excellent roast beef. You can inject or not depending on your final flavor profile wanted.

Any cut of round ( top,bottom,eor)makes great roast beef and jerky. Pretty much any lean cut of beef is what you are looking for.

Slicing paper thin is the biggest issue I have had making it deli style, getting the flavor profile might be easier than getting tender imo.

We buy Prime rib roasts when they go on sale over the holidays. Smoke them & slice off the bones & the cap & thin slice the rest for sammie’s. Most use thin sliced round, but we have also used sirloin tip as well.

I recently did one using bottom round. I’d recommend trying to find a cut that is more blocky as opoosed to highly tapered on one end for a more even cook and ease of slicing. Had lots of great help and it was a pretty easy cook overall: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/roast-beef-pic-heavy.319724/

Here is an eye of round that I just did...

Smoked Eye of Round

Last week, I was in Lowes Foods and saw that they had CAB Prime Eye of Round on sale so I bought one not really knowing what I was going to do with it. So I asked the forum... https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/prime-eye-of-round.321255/ The consensus was to smoke it and make sandwiches...

I don't have a slicer so it's not really thin enough, but it turned out good...

You'll get a slicer eventually. The enablers here will see to that. I have a Chefs Choice slicer. Not horribly expensive, and it will cut roast beef paper thin.

Look forward to your cook.
