We always have around 10 roasts leftover from the prior years beef.
What unique recipes do you have for them?
I’m gonna slice up some for jerky, so what’s a good recipe for that?

Season your roast with salt and pepper and give it a good sear all the way around. Put in crock pot and put a packet of dry ranch dressing mix over top, a packet of dry au jus gravy over top, slice up a stick of butter and place on the top, take a jar of whole peppercinis and dump them over the top with the juice. Some people only dump half a jar(your preference) put lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Shred the roast and serve overtop mashed potato’s. You have to trust the process, the first time I did it I didn’t believe it would work without adding any broth or liquid but it does.

We do pot roasts of different recipes. We also cut them up for stews and stick them in a pressure cooker for sandwiches/dip sandwiches.

Thanks bugle that sounds delicious.

If you're just cooking it on low, could you smoke it on 180/200 till it comes to temp?

If you’re referring to the Mississippi roast, I’m not sure how it would turn out that way

an additional note, it needs to be a cut like chuck roast with good connective tissue or it will be pretty dry. For venison, any neck roast, shoulder pieces or even shanks are fabulous for braising. After you pull your meat out make a gravy out of the drippings and some additional beef stock. We usually serve ours over rice not mashed potatoes but either one is a winner

As mentioned above . Depends on the roast/cut .
I just made Barbacoa(Mexican seasoned shredded beef if not familiar) out of a beef rump roast. I used a store bought season pack. Doctored it up a bit chilis etc. Lots of basic recipes for it also.
My grandma used to take leftover traditional pot/chuck style roast and run it through the course plate on a hand grinder. Add mayo,horse radish,little onion and pickle. Make sandwiches on her homemade bread. They were good !

They’re in every Mexican isle at the grocery store. Usually in clear sealed plastic bags.

I kept the eye of round muscles whole from last years elk. Do you all just cook these like a roast?

I’m 55 and have never had a roast that I liked, seems to dry out the very second it comes out of the pot.

I rub down with olive oil, season with my favorite steak rub, and smoke on pellet grill at 225 until 130 degrees then let rest for 20 min and slice. Perfect!

Did a Mississippi road a yesterday out of a boned out elk shank. Mouth watering

I don’t. Any lean whole muscle, I like to cut into 1” cubes, dust in flour, sear and use for stew or chili. The eye of the round makes great whole muscle jerky too.
-
Roasts are delicious! My wife puts a roast in the crockpot, pours a small amount of water on the roast, and sprinkles onion soup mix onto the roast. Cooks carrots and potatoes along with it. Put a few beef bullion cubes around the roast. one or two on each side is plenty. She will put it together in the morning, and its ready for dinner. Hard to dry one out in the ole crockpot. This is so good!!
-
I have four of them to experiment with. I think I’ll treat it like I would a piece of blackstrap and see how it turns out. I’ll season, vacuum seal, sous vide, sear and slice.
-
Eye of round is pretty bottom shelf imo. You can cook it just like any other lean muscle but you'll wanna slice it thin. I typically just grind them. Deep frying them for steak fingers and a nice dipping sauce will spruce them up as well :twocents:

brine for 24 hours and smoke. Slice thin. Out of this world!

Ive made every cut of roast and recipe and I just dont care for plain roast. If i cook a roast it goes into frenchdips , tacos, nachos or texas twinkies
