unfortunately it is very badly suited for cooking as a steak.

if you have bacon, wrap them and cook in the oven on low

use a lot pf bacon

Yeah I knew I was grabbing something cheap but now that I am doing some research I'm realizing how bad it really will be. Oh well.

Make a chicken fried steak and it'll be delicious.

Slice it just like in your picture, but a lot thinner and it makes darn good beef jerky.

I usually use bottom round for this, but they make okay country-fried steaks. Ideally you want them 1/2" thick, then lightly dredge in flour. Work them over with a needler (meat tenderizer) until they're about 1/4" thick--yes, it takes a lot and you want to work in both directions. Then salt and pepper them, flour > egg wash > flour, and cook 2-3 minutes per side until crispy.

Add butter and a little extra flour to the pan when they're all cooked, then deglaze with chicken stock and scrape up all the fond. Cook until it reduces into a nice gravy, then season with tons of black pepper and fresh thyme. I like mine with mashed potatoes and corn or slow-cooked green beans.

Sous vide for 24 hours

>>17094004
Dry brine on a rack in the fridge for 24 hours. Sous vide at 133 deg for 24 hours. Sear. Slice thin on a bias, add sauce if you like, and eat with rice. Or slice thin and velvet with baking soda like a chinese restaurant.

They aren't bad you just have to be careful how you choose to cook them. Pan searing them like a New York strip will not turn out well. The bacon wrap is a good suggestion imo since I'm not a huge fan of country fried steak.

Ground beef (with something fattier) or marinade. Maybe something slow cooking since it's lean

Off topic, anyone know how to fix dry steak even after resting? I didn't want to make a new post for this.

>>17094480
Douse it in steak sauce or gravy and admit defeat. Don't overcook it next time.

>>17094501
i seared at like >450 on stove (infrared thermometer) and oven'ed at 400 until 130F (came out looking medium tho). Did I do something wrong?

low and slow

>>17094035
I've cooked eye of round in a pan a million times. It's not the greatest but it's fine, good meat, just dump worcestershire on it and/or use A1.
It's really meant for a roast though I think

Hit it with the uncle Chris and some red pepper, pan fry with some oil. It's usually a decent cut for the price but pork chops are a better deal 99% of the time

>>17095059
Sorry, bud. I don't trust anyone who uses an apostrophe like that for a singular posessive. Written English is phonetic and I refuse to assume an extra "s". I will assume that if Chris is too lazy to add the "s" he is also lazy with his seasoning preparations.

esl moment

Braise it and you'll be fine

>>17094004
Take the steak out, let it warm up a bit (for like 10-30 minutes) on room temperature.
Meanwhile take an untreated lime, rub off its peel, mix the peel with fresh black pepper, limejuice(half lime), salt, Freshly chopped parsley, a bit of oil of your choice. Mix it well.
Dip the sides of the steak into this (leave the big surface area free since you gonna put it into a pan)

Preheat the pan onto medium to high temperature with a little bit of oil.

Put steak into pan. Immediately start a timer, steak has to be around 2-3 minutes per side in the pan to yield a medium rare result.

Cut potatoes into ~1x1cm cubes and roast them for about 20 minutes until gold brown, dont forget to stir
Get some Field salad(lamb's lettuce, dont know the correct english term).
Mix it with a bit of salt, pepper, vinegar and the other half of the lemon juice, put it onto your plate, spread the roasted potatoes onto it, and put the steak on top of it. Enjoy your steak

Either ESL retard or dumb fuck American

That shit gonna be dry as hell. Good luck

>>17094004
I don't know shit but the fact that carbonated water/club soda tenderizes meat, it can't be a bad idea

I ate Aldi eye of round steaks for two months straight as part of a bodybuilding routine.

They will turn out fine however you prepare them, they are an incredibly underrated and economical slice of meat. My preferred method was grilling (never used any spices) and served with steak sauce. Another favorite was dicing and using for a beef curry.

It’s
It IS

Fucking ESL

>>17098505
I think he meant how they spell the name of seasoning. Uncle Chris' Gourmet Steak Seasoning. not Uncle Chris's. I don't think he's ESL, just retarded and pedantic.

>>17094004
when i worked at a bbq joint for a while we would smoke eye of round and slice it up real thin on a deli slicer and then give it a quick sear in a pan and finish with butter and spicy bbq sauce and serve it on a brioche bun.

>>17094035
Its fucking fine, most americans have been brainwashed by the corn industry to associate high fat and low flavor with good.
Dont be like them
