I watch every video, but I keep cooking the same things over and over! The sous vide sweet mashed potatoes, onion salad, pork tenderloin and ribeye steaks!
I just finished doing a eye of round,(5 1/2 #), left most of the fat on and sous vide for 27 hours at 131*. Used your suggested seasonings and finished with the garlic butter. Ninja was right, my mother in law would not complain. It was still a tiny bit tough but not enough to bellyache about. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The au jus was spectacular. Cheap eats and enough for several meals. Thanks for a great recipe. By the way I’m assuming the extra cooking time helped a lot. You guys are a gold mine. Love your site.
Guys, thanks for this video. As someone who's been watching this channel for many years, I was recently lamenting to my wife about how your success has also allowed you to gravitate toward cuts of meat that will never be in my budget. This video is a good throw-back and brought me a lot of joy. I'm happy for how successful you've become over the years, and it's fun to fantasize about being able to try Wagyu, but I still love a good ol "affordable cut of meat" video which I can put to practice. :)
Thanks StevOwn, most of my cooks you can replace expensive cuts with other cuts also. Keep that in mind and you will have meals with restaurant quality every time.
@@godlymajins: Actually the Modernist recipe for tough cuts is 140f for 48hrs. I found it's not enough. I cooked at 138F for 55hrs, by then bites have similar resistance as ribeye
@@keatonktw121 Regrettably, I have to agree. I stopped watching when it became too much same old same old showing off with expensive cuts and equipment that the average Joe can only dream of. Hopefully Guga will take this well meant observation in the spirit it is made.
Guga is single handedly driving me to add kitchen and grilling appliances at an unsustainable rate.... sous vide just ordered. Almost added the Umai dry aging kit to the cart...damn.
I have success with eye round, top round too. I find it is more tender if the cooking (sous vide) is extended to 30-36 hours. I have done over 6 of them this way. I also try to leave a nice fat cap during cooking. Adds great flavor, and if you don't want it in your juice, you can skim it off after cooking.
I've been looking into ways to up my red meat intake and cut out the crap foods that have made me unhealthy. So glad I found your channel. The cheap cuts will help me tremendously. I can't afford to eat high end cuts to meet my daily needs. I'm not a chef either. This is almost impossible to screw up. Thanks for all the info. God bless.
I am new to sous vide amd i made this today. 36 hours at 131f, pan fried in a cast iron pan on high with bacon fat and basted roast with garlic butter before and after searing. This is the best thing ever. Thank you guga.
Just made this just as did, but cooked it about 22 hrs. Unbelievable flavor, and super tender for eye of round!! I also had a smaller piece of meat, so that may have contributed to the tenderness. My son gave it an A++. Thanks for all your vids!!! You are my go-to for Sous Vide.
I truly love watching you guys. Excellent representation of the truth, not sided toward what you do. Truth and honesty. Stay that way. Love from up here in Canada, I went and bought a precision cooker after watching you guys. I wish I would have known about sous vide 10 years ago. I will help your channel, the best I can.
Thanks for doing this video! While I enjoy watching videos about Wagyu, tenderloins, and porterhouses, I'll very rarely if ever be able to cook them. Rather than perfecting already great cuts of steak, I would love to see more videos about making inexpensive cuts better.
I found eye of round in my fridge today and asked my mom if we were making stew. She said, "why would I make a stew with a perfectly good steak" I laughed so hard😂
One advise: Leave 1/2 of fat and score it so that the seasoning penetrates better and also leave it cooking for 24 hours. It is indeed a very tough cut and this is the best way to make it look like picanha. My personal seasoning consists of: rock salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of ginger, smoked paprika, and of course, thyme and rosemary. It not only comes out with a really pleasing explosion of flavor, but also very tender compared to other methods. Another option is to cut it in steaks after trimming it, then use a jaccard and a marinade: the ingredients I use are bitter orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic (in any form) and onion (also in any form).
Not only does Guga know what he's doing when he cooks, but also all three personalities are contrasting and engaging. I am all for Mr. Mau doing videos on coffee!
I would love for Guga to cook more cheap cuts, I love REALLY expensive cuts as much as the next one, but I cannot afford it regularly, something like this is a lot more doable on a weekly basis
I did a eye of round roast for Thanksgiving and served with a Turkey. We braised on high heat before bagging and Sous Vide cooking for 23 hrs. It was incredibly tender and pretty good. I think it was more flavorful cold the next day. I ate some, then sliced it very thin, placed in zip lock bag with a couple thinly sliced onions and a cup apple cider vinegar. Placed in the fridge overnight, delicious.
I was waiting for this video. I saw another guy who has tested this cut at a lot of temperatures and times. He said the best was 131 degrees for 22 hours. Thanks Guga. Now it is time for a wagyu eye of round.
This cut works great with sous vide, but I leave the roast in the bath for 24 hrs. I find that the longer time really helps the meat's tenderness. Cutting it really thin/using a meat slicer also helps. This cut, cooked by sous-vide, then sliced paper thin, makes outstanding roast beef sandwiches! I'm going to use the butter basting to see what that does the next time I make this (maybe this weekend). Keep up the good work--your videos are a "must watch" in my book!
Hey Guga, big fan. You got me in to Sous Vide and you changed my life, or at least the food in my life, this is so easy and so good. Cheers from Lithuania, i'll have a drink to your good health. Į SVEIKATĄ! And have a great weak :)
I used Gugas recipe here as my baseline for dinner tonight. Amazing flavor! I found that 130 was a touch too done and that 25hrs was a better cook time but otherwise it turned out very well! Our baste included rosemary and we made an additional pan sauce using the bag juices. Incredibly flavorful and over all too soon. Thanks for proving Eye of Round CAN be sous vided, Guga!
I used eye of round for beef jerky, its low intermuscular fat and strong grain works well when doing that (you don't want fat going rancid when making dried meat so the fact the fat is mostly on the outside makes life very easy, and the grain if cut right means its not like chewing leather) and its fairly cheap
One of the benefits of sous vide, tenderization. We've done bottom round and chuck with equally great results. Not fillet but close to sirloin. A great way to save some coin while enjoying a great tender meal.
This was one of the main appealing things about sous vide cooking I love. Turning cheaper cuts of meat like chuck, round, topside or oyster blade steak into tender meals. As usual well done guys your preparation and presentation is first rate!
Guga, I used to avoid eye of round like the plague, thinking it an absolutely inferior cut of meat. Thanks to this video, you've now given me inspiration for a new sandwich idea. You are officially the meat master!
This cut catches a lot of grief, but we have always smoked it, reverse sear it while basting with butter, and sliced thin. Served with Chimichurri! Comes out great!
In India, specific Kerala, there's only one price for beef. It's close to 5 dollars for a pound. The premium and cheap cut is all sold for that price. Heck, there isn't a "cut" here. The whole animal is a single cut. Thought you guys will find this interesting.
I had already done this with the same cut of beef. Used red wine and some beef stock in the bag. Made French dip sandwiches. I seared it pre and post sous vide. The burned surface was a great flavor.
Eye of Round is one of my favorite cuts to sous vide for all the reasons you discussed. I usually cook for 24 hrs at 133, seasoned with SPG, although sometimes I will use another rub. It makes dinner for one night, then sliced thin for sandwiches until gone. No, it is not as tender as a filet or as rich as Wagyu, but it has amazing beefy flavor, more than tender enough, and it costs a fraction of premium cuts.
I put mine on my pellet smoker for about 2 hours with salt, pepper, garlic, umami, and oregano. Two hours or so it is done and perfect. I use my meat slicer to make it very thin. Makes for a great french dip.
Sous vide works really well with tough cuts like eye of round. Eye of round came up on sale recently so I decided to give it a try even though I knew it was a really tough cut. I trimmed it, cut off the tapered ends and cut them into strips crossgrain. The big part was cut into two “roasts” because my sous vide tank wasn’t large enough to take it as one piece. It’s on the list for Amazon’s next Prime Days. Three bags went into the tank @ 125F. Pulled the first @ 24 hours, delish, much more tender but not as tender as I wanted so I left the bigger one in for about 50 hours total. You could cut it with a fork - that tender but a tad more done than I wanted. Both of them were seared in a hot cast iron pan with ghee, fresh rosemary, sage & oregano. Once seared they were set aside covered to rest and the bag juices went in, reduced, red wine in, reduced and then heavy cream & cream cheese were added to thicken. Salt & pepper to taste. So I went out and bought a bunch more, trimmed them the same way - ends into crossgrain strips, main into 2 parts and sous vided another @ 121F for two days, pulled it out and chilled overnight then put on a 225F smoker until the inside hit 120F - perfect. The rest were trimmed out the same, sous vided for 2 days @ 121F and then into the freezer. Pulled one of the bags of strips two days ago, fried in ghee & bacon grease until caramelized, threw in the juices, heavy cream & cream cheese to make a sauce and had it two days running. Tender & delicious. Pulling one out to smoke this morning.
I love you channel. I bought a "Select" Picanha (my mistake) so I injected warm butter & lard) and sous vide at 135 for 4 hours. My guests & I were really surprised, turns out great. Seared with charcoal & grill grates. The idea was to get some more fat in the meat. Keep up the great videos & ideas.
I have done eye of round spud vide for years if you want it tender it needs at least 20 hours at 131^. I usually cut it into 1 inch thick steaks before I sear it. I seasoned it with salt pepper garlic powder and beef bouillon powder. I think it has the best flavor.
Love watching these videos. When Momo wants a holiday or when he retires can I please have his job? All he does is taste the food after all the hard work has been done! What a lucky bugger 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A trick I do for lean meats like this is the fat you trim off take that and fry it up in a skillet. It will render the liquid fat from the trimmings that you can use in the baste or drop in the vacuum bag. It help add the beef flavors and adds more juiciness. I also do this when I cook brisket and use the rendered fat when I wrap the meat after it stalls. The fried cracklins the dogs love it or if you like beef bacon.....
Guga, try this on it: Dust your board first with: worchestershire sauce POWDER (if you can't find powdered, use liquid, just coat the whole roast in enough to wet it down, then roll in spices) dried onion salt and pepper garlic powder well crumbled bay leaf (one) Make sure you leave enough fat! Cook low and slow to about that 131* doneness you show on this video. Mom would put it in the oven at 350 for one hour, then turn as low as the oven would go for about an hour a pound. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN. I don't care if there are elves in there, DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN. Best roast beef I've ever had. Cuts well to 'fingers' for snacking, too.
That sounds very excessive. Unless you're turning up the heat extremely slowly, your steak is gonna be done cooking after like an hour and a half and then it'll continue just being hot for no reason. Any benefits of keeping it at the right temp longer is gonna be well passed after a few hours
My friends, tried your recipe accept I cooked it for 17 hours and sliced it at a slight angle like London Broil. It almost melted in my mouth. I don't know if the extra hour cooking did that or the angle of the slices. But tough is not the word you would use to describe it. My neighbors couldn't believe it was Eye of Round.
Man, I do eye of round, mix some beef broth, and your rub, do your injection and then use a meat slicer to get it ultra thin and you’ll have some incredibly beefy, tender beef, it’s actually one of my families favorites!
In the UK we call this joint salmon cut of silverside and we use if as a roasting joint and wrap fat all the way round it and cook it for 20 mins to the ld at 170/180
This is what i love the most about Sous Vide, you can take a lesser cut of meat and still get a very nice outcome. I will splurge on the better cuts of steaks sometimes but center cut chuck eye is what i cook the most. Sadly they have raise the price of that cut several dollars/pound over the last few years though.
I would try using a jacard or one of those other tenderizers that use blades to pierce the meat. Eye Round is typically a roast. I usually slice it thin after cooking and make roast beef sandwiches with gravy. Save those drippings, add a little red wine and simmer off the alcohol to make a nice au ju

Thanks StevOwn, most of my cooks you can replace expensive cuts with other cuts also. Keep that in mind and you will have meals with restaurant quality every time.
I'd be curious about a test of 16hrs vs 24hrs and 36hrs cooking time to see if it becomes more tender, and if there is any down side to the flavor.
There is absolutely a point if diminishing returns. From my experience, it stops tasting like meat after 24 hrs.

I cooked mine for 36 hrs and it was VERY TENDER!
Guga I'd love to see you dry aging a few cheaper cuts like these and trying it out!!! 😊
I dry aged an eye of round for 30 days once. It's not worth it. The best thing for this is to add some bone marrow to it before sous viding.
greg dumont that sounds like a great idea
Just don't buy eye of round. Pretty awful cut for anything other than braising.
@@geffern eye round is cheap thats why people buy it
Hup, that is right cooking with cheaper cuts is harder to have great cook and more useful for most of the viewer
Now I'm curious if wagyu eye round is good.

Pulled one of the bags of strips two days ago, fried in ghee & bacon grease until caramelized, threw in the juices, heavy cream & cream cheese to make a sauce and had it two days running. Tender & delicious.
Pulling one out to smoke this morning.
U been giving angel all the good stuff, and u give them THIS!!!😂
I love you channel. I bought a "Select" Picanha (my mistake) so I injected warm butter & lard) and sous vide at 135 for 4 hours. My guests & I were really surprised, turns out great. Seared with charcoal & grill grates. The idea was to get some more fat in the meat.
Keep up the great videos & ideas.
Could you inject butter or lardinto the steak to add fat to the inside of the round?
I have done eye of round spud vide for years if you want it tender it needs at least 20 hours at 131^. I usually cut it into 1 inch thick steaks before I sear it. I seasoned it with salt pepper garlic powder and beef bouillon powder. I think it has the best flavor.
Autocorrect changed Sous to spud ha.
I need you to do some wild boar, I have a freezer full that needs to be eaten.
I love how stoked you still get on a good tasting steak. Rock on brother!!!
Haha had a good laugh at @5:25 when they said "the best bread ever"
Just google "bread" and "germany"
Cheers from GER
Love watching these videos. When Momo wants a holiday or when he retires can I please have his job? All he does is taste the food after all the hard work has been done! What a lucky bugger 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guga, why u never try to tenderize the meat in this sous vide channel? Maybe u can test it with this kind of beef cut
He did. Search videos.
A trick I do for lean meats like this is the fat you trim off take that and fry it up in a skillet. It will render the liquid fat from the trimmings that you can use in the baste or drop in the vacuum bag. It help add the beef flavors and adds more juiciness. I also do this when I cook brisket and use the rendered fat when I wrap the meat after it stalls. The fried cracklins the dogs love it or if you like beef bacon.....
just wondering, do you sous vide guga's rub on it's own. after all your channel is called Sous Vide Everything
.
Guga, try this on it:
Dust your board first with:
worchestershire sauce POWDER (if you can't find powdered, use liquid, just coat the whole roast in enough to wet it down, then roll in spices)
dried onion
salt and pepper
garlic powder
well crumbled bay leaf (one)
Make sure you leave enough fat!
Cook low and slow to about that 131* doneness you show on this video. Mom would put it in the oven at 350 for one hour, then turn as low as the oven would go for about an hour a pound. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN. I don't care if there are elves in there, DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN.
Best roast beef I've ever had. Cuts well to 'fingers' for snacking, too.
I haven't tried Cuban bread but Pan Sobao is one of my favorites!
Maumau is doing much better in the last videos. Very natural. Congratulations, all 3 of them look congruent now. Very nice
I do eye of round in the sous vide all the time. Try leaving it in 24-30 hours at 130. I think you'd be MUCH happier with the results.
That sounds very excessive. Unless you're turning up the heat extremely slowly, your steak is gonna be done cooking after like an hour and a half and then it'll continue just being hot for no reason. Any benefits of keeping it at the right temp longer is gonna be well passed after a few hours
@@KingBarney ... It's not about reaching temperature, it's about breaking down connective tissue and denaturing proteins at lower temperatures.
I’m so happy I’ve been wanting to see this video for years on this channel! Thank you!
didn't know they had 2 channels. Subbed to both now :)
My friends, tried your recipe accept I cooked it for 17 hours and sliced it at a slight angle like London Broil. It almost melted in my mouth. I don't know if the extra hour cooking did that or the angle of the slices. But tough is not the word you would use to describe it. My neighbors couldn't believe it was Eye of Round.
Tenderize it with pineapple, leave more fat, use less seasoning
Man, I do eye of round, mix some beef broth, and your rub, do your injection and then use a meat slicer to get it ultra thin and you’ll have some incredibly beefy, tender beef, it’s actually one of my families favorites!
personally i'm Cuban so i can agree that Cuban bread is amazing
Great video as usual Guga!
Can't believe you haven't prepared a Denver cut yet on the channel! Please do!
😲
😂😂😂
In the UK we call this joint salmon cut of silverside and we use if as a roasting joint and wrap fat all the way round it and cook it for 20 mins to the ld at 170/180
Next time reduce the juices after frying some garlic and onions, deglaze with some wine
This is what i love the most about Sous Vide, you can take a lesser cut of meat and still get a very nice outcome. I will splurge on the better cuts of steaks sometimes but center cut chuck eye is what i cook the most. Sadly they have raise the price of that cut several dollars/pound over the last few years though.
You should make a video where mamao and ninja makes a stake for you
I would try using a jacard or one of those other tenderizers that use blades to pierce the meat. Eye Round is typically a roast. I usually slice it thin after cooking and make roast beef sandwiches with gravy. Save those drippings, add a little red wine and simmer off the alcohol to make a nice au ju
