eye of round roast

[mstng86]

Anyone have experience with this cut of meat? The wife bought one and we used some directions found online. They said to present oven to 500, drop it down to 475, cook it for.7 minutes per lb and then turn off the oven and let the meat sit in the oven for 2.5 hours. It came out good but we were trying to think of a way to get it really tender.

Can you cook this on the smoker low and slow like brisket?

I smoked one a few weeks ago and it came out just like a brisket

Same method as a brisket? 1.5 hrs per lb at 225? What temp did you take it to?

It was a small 3.5 lb roast at 225 for 2 hours cooked it to a internal temp of 145 and it was well done. It's a very lean cut.

I've used it for carne guisada before. Low and slow, and it has come out great.
