Eye Round Steak

1 lb of Eye Round Steaks

Eye round steak is a lean cut of beef that comes from the round, or hindquarters, of the cow. Known for its affordability and low-fat content, this cut is often used as an economical option for recipes that call for beef. While it can be tough due to its lack of marbling, it can be transformed into a delicious meal with the right preparation techniques. Marinating the steak can help tenderize the meat and enhance flavor, making it suitable for grilling, roasting, or slow-cooking. When cooking eye round steak, it's important to keep it from overcooking to avoid a chewy texture, aiming for medium-rare to medium doneness. For best results, slice it thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
