SV Bottom Round

[teesquare]

It was on sale - and @ $2.99 per lb...let's say it spoke to my sense of economics ( o.k....I am CHEAP...)

For me Bottom Round has always ben little more than crock pot meat. It was never something I would buy even for a roast. Usually pretty lean- as far a s intra-muscular fat goes.... SO - I thought it would make a good test subject  for SV cooking...
I cooked it to 130F - because the wife wanted medium-
Cooked for 54 hours @ 130F.  Then it was un-bagged , the au just poured off - and seared for 1 minute on each side in a screaming hot skillet. I thought the flavor profile was just right. It was seasoned with a combination of W.O.W. and another rub I make for a competition team.











It was surprisingly moist and tender. of course I cooked for 2 days And I was experimenting with a new rub I am working on - the au jus that came from this is in the gravy boat. AND...it tasted exactly like what you would get with a French dip sandwich!

Tell us about your new rub.   Do you need tester for it?

That looks good Tee! With meat prices getting high I am starting to look at cuts of meat I would not normally use. This is a great way to take a lower cut of meat and make it good.
