[jmed999]

I'm trying to eat leaner cuts of beef. Anyone know the best way to cut an eye of round steak? Looking for ideas :grin:

Thanks in advance! :biggrin1:

The only way I really like these is cooked slow to rare or medium rare, then slicing thin for sandwiches.

This is the only way i know.. i inject with some beef broth and put fav rub on then cook till med rare and slice thin. I do eat it without the bread just a pile of the meat with some veggies.

Only thing I do with eye of round is to make jerky That's good for ya right?

I've done low and slow - comes out very good! Last night I sliced 9lbs after trimming for jerky.....great for jerky!

Round steak can be good....and cheap.

Marinade for a bit, pat dry and season. Screaming hot grill for like one minute per side, rare.

Serve with taters and a veggie.

This is how I would do it personally! I wonder what eye of round roast would be like smoked? Might get one!

When you guys say you cook eye of round steaks low and slow....what temp are you talking about? Do you sear like any other steak?

Thanks!

I rank top round above the eye for thin sliced roast beef. I love roast beef and have tried almost every cut i can think of. Top round, for me, ranks at the top of what i call lesser cuts. These days i dont want alot of smoke on my roast beef so a get them to temp in the oven then grill finish over wood.

Heres some from my tour of beef.

Baltimore pit style, i think this was bottom round?




Top sirlion






Eye of round



Top round, slightly over cooked




Tri tip pastrami

This was my go to cut as a cheap ass college student since it seemed to always be present in the manager special bin. As a cheap ass college graduate I still eat it but now I incorporate more expensive cuts as well. Lol

I cut into 3 roasts for my wife and I. Salt pepper onion garlic, reverse sear to internal of 125 / 130 rally great taste on the egg ...you can also use the smoker however I like the grill better

 

[jmed999]

Are you guys talking about the roast or the steak?

What temp should I cook the eye of round steak? Should I sear it? Smoke it?

I'm thinking maybe the steak would be cooked a little different that the roast.

Thanks!

Cook like a steak. If its thin, 1inch or less, grill hot and fast. If its 1.5 or more i like reverse sear. I don't worry about smoke, maybe just a kiss

I put it in the sous vide for 24 hours, then sear it on the grill. Comes out juicy and tender.

Never seen an eye of round steak around these parts, only roasts. Cooked the roasts a couple times, low & slow to med-rare. Wasn't as overcooked as it appears, just a crappy pic.

Not too bad... But for cheap roasts I prefer a rump roast.

I like a nice sirloin roast seasoned with Montreal Steak Seasoning and cooked indirect at 325 till rare and sliced thin
