Beef eye of round is a tougher cut of beef. A delicious beef eye or round can be made by cooking low and slow. Low and Slow is a way of cooking at low temperatures for a long time. Beef eye of round is a a very inexpensive cut of beef with no bones and minimum waste.
Basic Principles
1/ Trim off the tough silverskin and excess fat.
2/ Season and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
3/ Sear and cook in a low oven.
4/ Cook until medium done. You don't want to go higher than medium or the eye of round would be tougher.

Been a Chef for 40 years but mainly dealt with steaks and primals. I’ve got an event with Eye of Round. By far the best video I’ve seen. I saw people cooking at 350. Just didn’t seem right for a tougher cut. So thank you!

I sous vide my tougher roasts. I flavor them highly, let them sit for a day or two and then pop them in the sous vide for somewhere between 24 and 12 hours. They come out pretty tender. They aren’t prime rib but they make a good Sunday dinner.

@M_Ladd 6 ай бұрын

Great job! Thank you very much! I have tried multiple times with this cut of meat at a low temperature but never let it sit overnight, and it was still pretty tough. Does the overnight salt really matter that much? Is it really more tender? Wonder if a crock pot would be successful on this cut?

@eat4f1 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. The idea of the salt overnight is to brine the beef so the beef has more flavor. Does this step add tenderness? I don't think so, but I haven't tried it unsalted. A moist method of cooking - braising or slow cooker will work but you may get shredded beef with a slow cooker. I hope that helps.

Would recommend doing eye of round in sous vide will take the same amount of time you did since you dont need to dry brine it will penetrate during the cook since it will be in the bag for 24 hours

i've tried salvaging this hated cut in so different many ways ended up throwing it in the bin several times the only ways to prepared it is by using a fresh pineapple or kiwi marinade which breaks down the protein at least 1 hour prior to grilling gives it a very tender steak but with odd texture or crock pot slow 10+ hrs! will try your method tonight! tanks Cheers From Salt Lake City!

Hi, I found the key is to cook to medium-rare to medium. Also, slice thinly. Also, have a flavorful gravy or sauce as a topper. Personally, I'm good with salt and pepper, maybe sone garlic power or seasoned salt. Also, you can the the thin slices and make French dip sandwiches using au jus or the leftover gravy. I hope this works to your liking. Please update whether you like or not. Cheers.

In Germany we use this cut for Sauerbraten in which the roast is marinated for 3 days in a brine of vinegar and other spices which makes it tender but also gives it a spiced sour signature taste.

@Brakathor 7 ай бұрын

I don't know that you want to salt overnight. Doesn't that just lose all the moisture? I used to do a rotisserie version of this at 250 degrees oven temp to medium rare. Tenderest cut of meat ever. You then use the drippings to make gravy for a perfectly acceptable end result. If you REALLY really like a strong fat flavor, obviously this can't compare to a pricier cut.

@eat4f1 4 ай бұрын

Salting overnight helps season the interior of the beef which is similar to brining. The salt does draw moisture out, but also, the salty surface moisture will get "sucked" back in. That's the theory and it seems to work for me.

Thanks for the comment! Sorry to hear about the gristle. Was the gristle in the middle or the outer layer of your roast? I have not had that gristle issue. The beef eye of round is generally a single log of a muscle and a "less tender cut" so the meat is a little chewier. All the silver skin (the tough membrane) is on the outside, which i try to trim off.
