Smoked Eye Round Beef

I know what your thinking. You can't go and slow smoke an eye round roast. That don't make sense. Well, after finding the store didn't have brisket, I decided to give it a whirl. It turned out pretty darn good. With the seasoning and smoke, the flavor was outstanding. It came off the smoker less tender than I'd like, but the next day it was more tender for whatever reason.

I cooked it a little longer than I should I think (six hours). I'd check it around 5 hours - it would probably be about the right rareness. All in all, I was quite pleased with it.

Eye Round Looks Good

I must say the eye round grew on me. This shot is the morning after I cooked it and it seemed to have gotten better overnight in flavor and tenderness. I sliced it thin and it is quite tender now and full of great flavor. I'd venture to say it could be one of the best things ever. Enjoy.
