[@bigdgoriders]

Guys, the flavour profile seems to be less for sous vide cooked foods for you because you are making the mistake of putting fats in the bag with the meat! I knew that was going to happen the instant I saw you put beef fat in the bag with the steak. Flavour compounds in meat are fat soluble so when you lock fats like butter, beef fat, oils etc in with the meat, you're not infusing the meat with the flavour of the fat you're infusing the fat with the flavour of the meat. Do not put fats in the bag with your meat when cooking sous vide.

[@gouryoku]

I don't think they care

[@nealbeegle9059]

100%. Plus if they wanted to use sous vide to transform the cut, they should have done the same 135 but 12+ hours. Same way you can turn a chuck roast into something that has the texture of ribeye.

[@BST1000SoccerStuff]

Good point! And it makes a lot of sense. We'll go back and try it without the fat. Honestly, Brent and I never sous vide because we generally prefer grilling or cast iron, but I'll give this a shot. You make a great point.

What about jerky? Its the best cut for jerky. Super lean, almost no fat, very little sinue.

[@Blackmark52]

Titus Weikal "What about jerky?" Eye of Round is even worse for jerky than it is for steak. It has no flavour, it dries to a card board like consistency, and worst of all after chewing and chewing you're left with a blob of guck like chewed paper towels in your mouth. Not fit swallowing that. And there is nothing wrong with a fattier cut for making jerky. It gives your jerky more flavour, and melts as the meat dries to make a juicier and more tender jerky. My absolute favourite cut for jerky is flank steak.

[@lyhthegreat]

@@Blackmark52 then what do u use this cut for?

[@johnfadee979]

Blackmark52 false. It’s the only meat I use for my jerky and I’ve never had a complaint about the meat. What do you use? I’m open to trying new cuts.

[@Blackmark52]

@@lyhthegreat "what do u use this cut for?" I avoid it altogether. I wouldn't even put it in a stew because even if it could be cooked long enough to become tender and soak up a bit of flavour, it still has that residual guck when you chew the actual meat out of it. It's only redeeming quality is that it is cheap, so like they say in the video, you could use it as a lean filler in ground beef. But even there you are lowering the flavour content.

[@Blackmark52]

@@johnfadee979 "false" Nothing I said is false. If you season eye of round well you can mask the lack of flavour. If you cut it very thin and across the grain you can make seem more tender than it is. But it is still the worst choice for jerky, because you still have to hope that people swallow before they chew the flavour out of it and end up with a ball of connective tissue gunk in their mouth. I've already stated my preferred cut for jerky : flank. I take an average sized steak and cut it to half the thickness that it comes. Nice and thick and always lots of beefy flavour and melt in your mouth consistency.

[@MsCherade9]

Eye of round is called beef silverside here in the UK. It's a great cut for braising, stewing very slowly or making into corned beef. But using normal steak cooking methods it's going to be tough, with not enough flavour, fat or connective tissue to even try to melt down in such quick cooking methods.

[@robertcruz6754]

Here in Miami it's often called Boliche and my grandmother would stuff it with chorizo and stew it with lots of onions, bell peppers, garlic, and red wine along with some tomato paste and a bay leave. ( It also had a couple of dried spices like oregano and cumin and those goya packets.) She called it Carne Asada and it was a staple meal when I lived with her.

[@ImACookieTasteMe]

i was wondering what the cut was as i had never heard of it but hearing silverside i know exactly what it is now think ive only ever had it as corned beef and never any other way

Silverside is typically bottom round I believe, not eye of round.

[@joseguedes1421]

Yeah, like other people have said this is not the worst steak, it just is one of the very best roasts. By the way, it makes astoundingly good carpaccio also if you cut it very thinly then pound it even thinner because of its extremely homogeneous fiber distribution. It's all about knowing how to best use the cut

[@primabellas6856]

The eye of round doesn't make for a great steak but is is my favorite as a roast. It has a lot of beef flavor and it's almost always consistently uniform. It's great for anyone who likes a med-rare roast and lunch meat. It does require some extra time in the kitchen but it can be so worth it! When I make it, I take about 2-3 Tbsp of kosher salt and coat the outside of the roast. I then wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 24-48 hours hours. When I'm ready to roast, I remove the meat from the plastic, blot it off with some paper towels, then rub veg oil on it. I bake it at 425* until the center reaches 125 on a meat thermometer. When it is almost ready to come out of the oven, I prepare a skillet with some veg oil over med-high heat. I transfer the roast to the skillet and brown on all sides to get a nice crust. After it's done, I rub a butter compote over it and let it rest about 15 minutes. The compote is just butter with some parsley and shallots. I reserve some compote to serve with the sliced beef as well. Because it is a tough cut, you must slice the beef very thin, across the grain. The left over slices make excellent roast beef sandwiches. So, yeah, I'd be happy to take those eye of round roasts off your hands. (yum!) :)

[@patrickpendergrast9358]

Carpaccio.....chill and slice thin. olive oil and/or herb vinaigrette capers and shaved parm or romano. Saves money against using filet

This is a great cut for certain purposes. For instance, I’ve used it mostly for Vitello Tonnato (t 60°C 24h). The fanciest way how this part can be presented is Bresaola.

I use eye round,( when it's on sale), sliced, with the grain, a hair less than half inch into about a 4 or 5 inch rectangle, I then slice it into about half inch strips and into my secret jerky marinade it goes for about 2 days in a tupperware container. I use 4 to 5 pounds of meat when making my jerky, I like the eye round cut with the grain because it is tough and stringy. The solid half of the top round is also good to use for jerky, sliced the same way. IMO , this really is the only good use for an eye round. The meat spends a day and a half to 2 days in the dehydrator. Just my take on eye of the round...

I grew up eating “round steak.” It was half inch steaks crosscut through the whole beef leg, and it had a little round bone, along with eye, top, and bottom round steak. It was big and round in shape, thus the name, “round steak.” Mom would brown it, then remove it from the pan, add oil and onions, celery, bell peppers, and garlic, and a couple of thin slices of fresh Tabasco peppers. After the veggies had sweated down, she’d add a little water, and put the round steak back in, turn the heat on low simmer, and then wait a couple of hours. It was okay if the water ran out. It would let every brown even better, and she’d just add more water. Sooner or later the round steak became tender. We’d have it with a plate full of rice with the gravy poured over it. Some weeks we would have it once a week, some weeks we would have it twice. We loved it! It was a favorite. I haven’t seen an actual whole round steak in a while.

Ben: On a scale of 1-5 how would you rate the texture? Brent: z E r O !

[@vandalsgarage]

Eye round is my go-to for inexpensive French dip sandwiches. Sous vide 135* for 5 or 6 hours. Take it out of the bag and let cool. Then sear it on all sides, chill thoroughly. Slice thinly as possible, and warm it up in a bath of beef broth with a dash of Worstershire. Serve on roasted baguettes. Best French dip sandwiches are made from rib roast, but that's too expensive for a mid week dinner, so I use the sous vide eye round.

[@vandalsgarage]

Its also a GREAT choice for jerky, where the lack of fat is a plus

[@Ecliptor.]

Never seen one of these videos, popped on recommended and gave it a try. It was pretty entertaining!

[@eater]

welcome! thanks for watching!

[@chetthomas9995]

1st - No liquid or fat in the sous vide bag you will be diluting the flavor 2nd - you need to sous vide for a longer period of time to break down the connective tissue closer to 24 hours. Then rest in beef fat.

[@OtterThunder]

Shredded beef tacos are great too. Slow cooked until it's just shreds I've found works great cause all the toppings for tacos along with slow cooking in spices makes up for the lack of natural flavour of the cut.

[@Dgc-vz2bv]

Salt, pepper, some butter and a cooking method. 👌

[@elduderino3236]

That's the perfect cut for making BILTONG!!

[@stevown]

I agree. But it's worth noting it's a fine cut for jerky. This is actually my pick of choice for jerky for a couple reasons: 1. Jerky benefits from lots of seasoning which can minimize the difference (flavor-wise) of an expensive cut vs this cut 2. Cost - Jerky is expensive, with all that loss and time investment, starting with a cheap cut (find eye of round on sale for 1.99/lb) = YAY! 3. Lean - Jerky already takes a lot of prep, and unlike some other uses of beef, uniquely requires careful removal of all fat. This cut is so easy to slice for Jerky, cutting down a bit on prep and increasing yield per effort/time/investment. 4. I like tough jerky - if I use a more tender cut of meat for jerky I cut it with the grain anyway, you could cut eye of round against the grain and actually come out easier to chew than the former I often wait for a good eye of round sale, grab 20lbs and batch it all as smoked jerky... I've done side by side with other more common cuts for Jerky and it came out the same for blind testers, yet it cost 1/2 as much when you count the time and cost.

[@tonybutcher4762]

Girello, 1000,000s Italians would say you guys have no Idea about eye rounds.

[@lightbearer1550]

That's what they dont realize. They're butchers, Not chefs. A chef can probably make that a money cut I mean. I wouldnt be considered a budget steak if it sucked everytime you cooked it

[@adam3049]

In Ireland it is more expensive then regular round and its very popular

[@JuanGonzalez-ex1sl]

Bruh what number is that

[@sod0m]

Cut it down the middle the long way, salt it and let it sit overnight. Then sear it and slow roast at around 250 degrees for 30 min, let sit in the oven another 30. Eat in thin slices. Also, marinating and seasoning goes a long way, gentlemen.

[@amymanoharan284]

I buy eye of round ALL the time! I slice it across the grain, thin, then into roughly 1/2 inch sized pieces. I then mix it up with a scrambled egg, some cooked potatoes, peas, carrots, and then I feed it to my dogs. They love it!

[@Moshbearpig]

Eye of round makes the best beef jerky though

[@bryanwaldron9076]

Yes it does. The best cut in my opinion

[@kenm.2793]

what makes it good for jerky?

[@bryanwaldron9076]

@@kenm.2793 It has almost no fat. You actually don't want fat in jerky. It can spoil it.

[@planr5572]

@@bryanwaldron9076 if you make it at home, don't trim all the fat, just eat it first before it has a chance to spoil. jerky fat is dang good.

[@Eargesplitten-Loudenboomer]

@@planr5572 Yes fresh jerky with a bit of fat is great.

[@maamold]

135 is way too high for a steak with no fat. 129° for 2hrs would have been great.

[@bitsnpieces11]

I once went to a family get together/cookout and took a 1 1/2 inch thick cut of top round. We wrapped it in al foil and cooked on a low grill over wood coals and it came out fabulous, very tender and tasty. It weighed about 12 pounds.

[@Ulfgarius]

"Eye of round" also known as silverside in many countries.

[@sorrym8421]

The fat drew out the flavor, not the sous vide. SOUS VIDE EVERYTHING came to that conclusion.

[@sansationalsans348]

*guga is god

[@Joshua277456]

I don't buy eye of round often but when I do I dice it quite small, fry it quickly, and put in in a cheese quesadilla. Actually not bad when prepared that way.

[@ikoyDaPnoy]

Experiment: Dry age the eye round, then marinade in pineapple, smoke it in low heat, then finally slow grill it while basting it with beef fat.

[@BST1000SoccerStuff]

Helloooo, Beautiful & Kind People of the Internet! Hope you enjoy this new episode! Brent and I both agree that this cut just doesn't make a good steak...but we wanted to be double sure, ya know? Looking forward to chatting with everyone, so definitely leave comments below and we'll hopefully get back to ya!

Benjamin Turley can we drool over Brent’s eye of round? While it is still attached to him of course.

[@pedrohenriquesoutogueiros1449]

Maybe more time on sous vide without the fat.

[@aquietplace5832]

I cube eye of round and make stew. Deglazing the pan with red wine or a dark stout beer. That's the only way I'll eat it.

[@wiliambanquiter8039]

What about making jerky with it? It looks pretty lean

[@amirboutabaa9028]

How dare you say I'm kind ? This is clearly characterism you bigot. I'm gonna tweet about this, you're done.

[@aceraspire7456]

chill in freezer until ALMOST frozen. slice cross-grain as thin as possible - ultra thin prepare an au-jus, cheese, or other kind of fondue base and dip. I'm not saying it's the best choice for fondue. But it is certainly one way to make use of the eye round rather than throwing it out or feeding to the neighbor's dog. 🙂

[@animefangirl123602]

Try marinating it in yogurt or buttermilk! I heard that it either helps with tenderizing or flavor!

[@patavinity1262]

You should have left in beef fat *before* cooking it.

[@Joe_Yacketori]

That's basically what poaching it did, though.

[@korinmessina5756]

I buy eye of round specifically for pressure canning. I get it when I can get a good price, raw pack pressure can it, and use it for quick weeknight meals from burritos to pasta in place of lean ground beef.

[@RockyGems]

Seems like it could be good for something slow cooked and flavorful, like beef curry or stew.

[@justahumanwithamask4089]

That piece would be great in curry.

[@lauracooks4926]

Eye round cooked edible stock, few cloves of garlic . Almost equal weight shredded onion. Put in slow cooker 5/6 hours. Shred and absorb broth and onion. Awesome

[@Jotdotcom]

Ahaha, this is stewing steak, I just made a beef stew with one of these. Fried in beef fat and then stewed for three hours in beer, it’s perfect.

[@borghese84]

eye of Round is an amazing cut. Surely not for steak! It is perfect for carpaccio, vitell tonnè or tartare. Why would you "steak" it for god's sake?

[@frostymarbles2655]

For fun

[@krystiankornilowicz4577]

the idea is to make it an edible steak. They aren't saying it sucks as meat, they just want to test out if it is possible or not to steak it as you put

[@TheSonofseventhson]

they said "the mos wah wah" muscle (the worst muscle), so... yes, they are saying that it sucks as meat. But they are completely wrong.

[@happyhippie1957]

I use it for chicken fried steak. You can ask the butcher to cube it, like cube steak, or beat it flat yourself with a meat tenderizer. I use the back of a heavy chef's knife and pound parallel lines in it about a 1/8 inch apart, then turn it 90 degrees and do it again, then flip it over and repeat. That solves the toughness problem. I dredge in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs, and fry it in some butter to medium rare. That solves the flavor problem.

[@aria.e]

That cheap piece of beef is a luxury to me.

The best thing I've found to use eye of round for is cheap, homemade biltong! Its delicious at all stages, but doesn't do well at full dryness.

[@NicholasStaelvonHolstein]

Should have regularly sous vide it for a much longer time (we are talking 6+ hours). This would have made it a lot more tender.

[@WyoFire60]

What!? The eye of round is the poor man's tenderloin! Let it age and treat it like a tenderloin. It's one of my favorite cuts on elk, deet, or pronghorn.

[@SHADOWOPSV]

Dudes, I do a London Broil with the needle tenderizers and whatever marinade du jour. Marinade usually overnight in the ref, and then grill it. Hi temp on both sides to start a crust, then indirect in the weber for 20-30 minutes and it comes out FAN TASTE IC! (I use the "wag" test for done-ness-hold it in the tongs and wag it to test flexibility). I've duplicated this recipe with a small (2lb eye of round) and my kids go apey over it. Have had great results with soy based and basalmic vinegar based marinades-but my fave is Mc Cormick Fajita seasoning! Enjoy!
