• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Hi there! I have a beef round that I planned to cook as a roast beef. I am now reconsidering, and want to try cooking it like a brisket. Anyone ruined a beef round by trying to cook it for about 12 hours, low temperature, wrapping and cooler - etc, or is this the best recipe for success? Input is greatly appreciated!
 
I've always wanted to try a rib roast like a brisket :wacko:

You know just for S & G :becky:
 
Is it an eye of round? Or really, an entire round roast? You can cook the Eye of Round into submission much like a brisket, and get a pretty decent product, assuming you foil and add a little moisture. I have never done this with an entire round roast, as it is not at all, even close, to my favorite cut of beef.

However...that being said, roasting it similar to how you cook a brisket, taking it well past the point where the connective tissue breaks down, will give you a end product that is tender to the tooth. You will need to wrap in foil and add a fair amount of liquid. Also, the point at which it will be done will be a narrow window, as always, cook to probe tender.
 
There is a recipe in Chris Lilly's book. I think he wraps most of the cook time.
 
Sounds like a great beginning for some jerky.
 
Thank you for all your advice. I guess I'll have to try it to find out:roll:

landarc: It would be an entire round roast in Norway, but we name our cuts differently than you do, so I'm not really sure. Tried to post a picture, but was unable to. Will make an effort later today:)

I'll keep you updated on the result.
