Questions about Bottom round roast
How do you cook bottom round roast so it is tender?
For a reliably tender result, braise it: brown the joint, add stock and aromatics, cover tightly and cook at 150°C for about 2½–3 hours, until a fork goes in easily. For a classic roast, cook it less and slice it very thinly across the grain; this lean cut can turn dry if overcooked.
How do you roast bottom round without drying it out?
Bring the joint towards room temperature, pat it dry and brown it all over in a hot pan. Roast at 160°C until the centre reaches 63°C, rest for at least 3 minutes, then carve thinly across the grain.
How can you tell whether bottom round roast is a good cut to buy?
Choose a firm, evenly shaped joint with a deep red colour and little visible gristle; a thin layer of fat can help keep the surface moist. Ask for it to be tied if you want neat, even slices.
What can you make with leftover bottom round roast?
Chill leftovers promptly and use them within 3–4 days, or freeze them in portions. Thin slices are good in sandwiches, while diced roast works well in a beef hash; add it near the end so it warms through without becoming tough.
What dishes use bottom round roast?
It works well as a sliced Sunday-style roast with gravy, roast potatoes and vegetables. Slow-braised, it can also be shredded for beef sandwiches or served with its cooking juices over mash.
Is bottom round roast the same as eye of round roast?
No. They are different cuts from the hindquarter, though both are lean and benefit from thin slicing. Eye of round roast has 3.7 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 3.7 g in bottom round roast.
What nutrients stand out in bottom round roast?
It is high in zinc and provides selenium, vitamin B12 and protein. A typical 113 g portion has 25 g of protein and 5 mg of zinc.
