Impulse buy. Now what?

I found whole in-bag beef eye of rounds for $2.99 lb. at my local Dillons (Kroger) this afternoon, so picked up two medium sized ones. (a bit over 5 lb. each)  Excel brand, USDA Choice.

My first thought was to make pastrami, but I'm wondering what other possibilities I can consider.  I haven't made pastrami or corned beef since culinary school, so it's been a long time.

Pastrami, corned beef, beef jerky, chili, stew, roast beef...

Last one we did on the rotisserie. We had it served with gravy then sammiches and finished it off as shepherds pie.

A great use!

Definitely pastrami!  I made some out of bottom round - simple to do!

Check out the BBQ Pit Boys on YouTube. They have a video called "Cheap Roast Beef Recipes" where they do eye of round 4 different ways. All look good!

I'm leaning toward pastrami. 

  I may make jerky out of one of the rounds.  I haven't made jerky in 20 years, (at least) and it was an oven-dried jerky then.  Now I own a dehydrator and I can cold/warm smoke in my big rig, so I have choices.
