Roast Beef for sammiches

marysvilleegger

Did this 4.5 lb eye of round yesterday and sliced it up today for lunches.   Went indirect til 130.  Will definitely use this cut again for roast beef   Very tender!

Thanks for the post. Very timely for me. Just bought 1 today for eggzactly the same purpose. I'm hoping that for half the cost of pre-cooked and deli sliced, plus a little skill, we'll have lunch sammys for a couple of weeks.

Fine looking roast beef. It'll be better than deli beef, 'cause you did all the work.
Making a mental note "eye of round"

If you cook it rare enough and slice it thin enough, eye round is awesome!! And as cheap as beef roast gets! Cubed (3/8" or so), it also makes a great bowl of red.

That sliced roast beef looks incredible.

My mom use to cook those every Sunday for lunch with rice and gravy, asparagus casserole, butter beans and home made rolls. You bring back great memories for me, though she had no egg.

That's a good looking cook.

That's a nice looking eye round. I have a hard time finding ones that thick. Well done!  I like mine with either Swiss and mayo or a little horseradish please.
