Questions about Eye of round roast
How do you cook eye of round roast so it stays tender?
Pat it dry, season well and roast on a rack at 120°C until the centre reaches your preferred doneness; use a meat thermometer rather than relying on time. Rest it for at least 15 minutes, then slice very thinly across the grain.
Can you cook eye of round roast in a slow cooker?
Yes, but it is very lean, so add a little stock or other braising liquid and cook it gently until a fork can pull the meat apart. For classic pink roast beef, oven-roasting is a better fit than slow cooking.
How thin should you slice eye of round roast?
Slice it as thinly as you can, across the visible grain; thick slices can seem chewy because this is a lean, hardworking muscle. A sharp carving knife makes a noticeable difference.
How should you store cooked eye of round roast?
Cool leftovers promptly, seal them in a container and refrigerate for up to three to four days. Keep slices with a little gravy or cooking juice so they do not dry out, and reheat them gently.
What can you make with leftover eye of round roast?
Use thin slices in roast-beef sandwiches, French dip sandwiches or a salad, or add them to gravy for a quick hot meal. Add the meat near the end when reheating so it warms through without becoming tough.
Can you use top round roast instead of eye of round roast?
Yes. Top round roast is another lean roasting cut and has a little more protein and less fat per 100 g: 23.5 g protein and 3.81 g fat, compared with 22 g and 8.9 g in eye of round roast.
How much protein is in a serving of eye of round roast?
A typical serving is about 113 g and provides 24 g of protein and 195 kcal.
