Eye of Round

Over on another site you posted your favorite steak was eye of round.  I am curious as to why?  We never did anything with the eye of round except chicken fry it or cut it up for stew meat.  I may have been missing something.

Thanks,

Joe

As I get older I like leaner beef than I did before, grilled slow with a butter baste it is lean, and there is no waste.  It can be very tender if grilled slow and butter basted.

Myself I like bottom round for CFS, It should be only slightly pounded and slightly but not overly tough, bottom gives me the results I like.

Also I like that newer cut, the Flatiron the the University of Newbrassky helped develop out of check, lean and tender if cooked right.

Thanks for the insight.  Is the butter baste have a receipt or is it just plain old butter?

I just melt some butter and use a brush, was a popular method in the 19th Century.  Also heath wise, a lean piece of beef, butter basted is better for you than a well marbled prime cut, butter fat having less bad in it.

I don't have no BP/cholesterol problems, but I thought I'd pass that on in case anyone does and needs to cut back some.

Put a big dab of butter on the meat and then sprinkle a pinch of chipotle or chili powder all over the butter
Then when the meats done, put it on the plate and pour the drippings over it. Cant beat it!

If you spend much time on this forum you'll find out it's been discussed a lot here and is the opinion of about 99% of the folks here. ::)

Another question:  Are you pan frying the steak or cooking in on the grill. 

I miss your cooking articles in the Shootiest. 

We cook your fried red cabbage and fried apples a lot.

I use a stove top cast iron grill as made by Lodge, I need to get back to writing again.  Didn't have a computor at home for a while, got the problems fixed.
