Beef Eye Round Roast

The beef eye round roast is a lean, boneless cut from the round primal, which comes from the rear leg of the cow. It's shaped like a small, thick log—hence the "eye" in its name—and is known for its uniform shape, making it great for even roasting and slicing.

Because it’s very lean with little marbling, it can be tough if overcooked, but when prepared properly—like roasted low and slow, then sliced thin—it delivers a clean, beefy flavor and a satisfying texture. It's a popular cut for roast beef, deli-style slices, and dishes that benefit from precision carving. Average weight is 3lbs.
