USDA Select grade beef eye of round roast, vacuum packaged for freshness. This lean, boneless cut comes from the elongated muscle in the center of the round primal, located in the rump and hind legs. The eye of round is a flavorful, budget-friendly cut that is very uniform in quality and somewhat leaner than higher grades. Because it has less marbling, it is fairly tender but may lack some of the juiciness and flavor of Choice or Prime grades. Each package contains approximately 6 pounds of boneless beef.

This cut is best slow-cooked or roasted to improve tenderness, then sliced thinly across the grain. It can also be marinated before grilling or broiling for maximum tenderness and flavor. Often used for roast beef at the deli, the eye of round is versatile for everyday meals and is ideal for oven roasting or braising. The vacuum packaging preserves freshness and extends shelf life.
