Beef Bottom Round Roast - Is it even worth egging or should I just sous vide?

Long time reader, first time poster. I've had a 3 lb. beef bottom round roast in my freezer for awhile and my wife has told me it needs to go. I'm between egging it indirect or putting it in a sous vide bath for several hours. Any experience with this cut of meat? I'm trying to keep it fairly simple.

    I believe you can treat it like Pit Beef. Low and slow, about 250 indirect. I would cook to medium rare to medium-no more done than that. Slice thin for sandwiches.

  • Like this cut for Italian Beef, check out Amazing Ribs. 
    I do it on the egg, indirect over a pan of beef broth, follow pretty much the recipe on Meatheads site. 
    I don't care for his giardiniera, I like mine a little more zippy.

    I love to sous vide a chuck roast, 130° for 48 hours. Then sear wherever. VERY tender and flavorful. Never tried it with a bottom round, but it's an idea. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
