Pressure cooking, slow cooking or braising eye of round is pretty tasty for beef tacos. Also dry aging in the fridge makes the lean meat a lot more tender
@@TheBartenderAndTheButcher for sure, we eat this at least once or twice a week. i do equal parts ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and salt & pepper and chili powder to taste. I sear the meat first and then either slow cook or pressure cook if i don’t have all day to wait :) And if braising i add in beef stock, carrots, onion and celery then cook on low for a few hours. Eye round when made really tender is super delicious and perfect on a budget
@@koopercupp523 My good sir, you are the real MVP! (Makes sense with your profile pic and namesake lol) Thank you so so much for sharing! We'll be adding it to our menu asap!
@@TheBartenderAndTheButcher🤣🤣 cooper kupp is amazing. Another tip if you have less time to cook, cut the eye round into thin strips for stir frying like you did in your video, season however you like and then add 1 teaspoon of corn starch and 1/4 cup of water. Mix until the liquid gets absorbed back into the meat and leave for 1/2 hour before cooking and cook on very high heat for 5 mins or less. The corn starch slurry prevents overcooking and the meat becoming tough. Its versatility is one of the best parts about the eye round
@@koopercupp523 Everything has been screenshotted so I don't forget anything! You're a real one, thank you so so much for sharing all the knowledge! And we're hoping for an injury free 2024 season for Cooper 👑🏈
Wow! This comment really made my day! Thank you so much for subbing and believing in our future growth 🥹 So happy I could be entertaining and relatable :-)
Aww, this is a really good video. You even have the scimitar. I used to butcher, so. This is easily my least favorite cut of beef, in what is my least favorite area. I don't particularly like any of the round, not the top (London Broil style et al) or the bottom or the eye. It's a tough cut that doesn't lend itself to being tasty when cooked almost ANY way. Slicing it thin doesn't make it better- it just means you chew less. Given the price point compared to other cuts, there will certainly be cheaper ones that are much more enjoyable to eat. If you HAVE to have round= I would suggest stewing it. If it's completely bathed in a sauce- it isn't going to mater how dry it is and if you cook it long enough= it should be soft-ish. Anywho, I wish you luck on your videos- this one was really good.
Thank you!! We’re so glad you enjoyed the video! It’s awesome to get feedback from someone who also has experience in butchery :-)) Yes, I definitely agree with you that any part of the round is not particularly desirable. At the specific store I worked at, every part of the round was super popular and I still am not certain why other than it being more on the affordable side especially when it would go on sale. On average, I also agree that there are tastier options that can be found at better prices, but in my experience you can get round on a really good sale pretty often. And with this not being a favorite of mine I wanted to challenge myself to find new ways to cook it that I actually like and the chicken fried steak I’ve made so far has been a big winner. And 100% believe that round needs sauce/gravy too
Asian stir fry with a very hot pan is one of the few ways you make something good out of that cut of meet. You would need to slice it 1/2 inch thin, and then tenderize it with marinade and baking soda, though.
You're really good in your videos and quirky like myself so don't change a thing.
Thank you 😊 I'm glad i can be entertaining and relatable!

Where's the beef?
If you’re not finding it here I’d recommend checking Arby’s 🤪
Please stop that “growl” voice. I know it was trendy but so annoying that I had to stop watching. Inhibits understanding your otherwise great content.
Thanks for watching!
