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.
@robertcruz67545 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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 "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.
@Blackmark525 жыл бұрын
@@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.

As a child at ages 8-10 my dad would seldom bring home steaks and the very second thing I'd say was, "I can't wait to bite into it and tear it apart with my teeth like a wolf!" Looking back on it now, that must've been pretty adorable. I've always been a fan of jerky, can you guess why? Yes.

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. Also, It tastes good in more simple stew dishes like Sauerbraten. Anyway, it was nice to watch how you entertain yourselves and us. Thank you for awesome vids, keep going!

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...

are you serious ? chuck is a cheap forequater cut , and yes probably better used as mince if not for stewing . but " eye of round " properly known as silverside eye . is a much more expensive cut and youd lose to much money mincing it .

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!) :)

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.
