Dry rub of mostly salt, (multiple kinds of) pepper, and onion & mushroom powders. Uncovered in the fridge overnight.

Temperatures this week looked like a Powerball drawing but I picked a decent day to smoke a couple of eye of rounds (...eyes of round? EoR's, either way). They made good steaks and - with a horseradish cream sauce, smoked pepperjack, fresh tomato, pickled onion, and quality potato rolls - some excellent roast beef sammies!

For leaner cuts, I cook to rare. Even after a long rest, cutting up these steaks nearly flooded my carving board with juices. I had thought about using an injection, but these did not end up needing it.

I prefer a few (dainty?) sliders versus one big sandwich. And yes, of course, I did (lightly) toast the bread before assembly; onions and horseradish sauce are hidden under the meat. The commercial-grade slicer that I picked up from a defunct deli makes a tremendous difference in getting practically paper-thin slices, which makes a big difference in texture & quality.
 
That looks great! The title had me thinking donkey, so I had to click..........
 
Eye Round is my favorite for roast beef. I smoke it but with a very simple rub. Great cook on it, nice job.

I usually slice it thin.

Nice job on the roast beef. Great snag on the slicer! I’m sure that thing is nice to have around.
