The eye of round is a lean, flavorful cut from the round primal of the cow, located on the hind leg. It’s known for its uniform shape and fine grain, making it ideal for roasting and slicing thinly for cold cuts. Roasting the eye of round at a low temperature ensures it remains tender and juicy. After roasting, it is typically cooled, then thinly sliced for use in sandwiches and platters.
