Great recipe, my family loves it!they don’t like traditional braised or pot roast, but love this deli style. To keep the cost even lower, I get my eye of round at Costco. You cane get two roasts, each about 3 lbs, for less than $20 at Costco in Seattle. And beats the heck out of deli roast beef! Way yummier. We eat about 1/3 of the roast for dinner and then have au jus sandwiches for lunch, etc throughout the week.

Just purchased Eye of Round wholesale price $2.78 a pound. make sure you let it rest after taking out of oven, at least 15 min before slicing. I am going to sous-vide mine and slice for sandwiches. Eye of Round is very economical and should always be roasted not braised, it could be braised but not the best cut for braise.
The eye is the center of a top round, don’t use bottom round to roast to much connective tissue, again it could be roasted but not the best choice.

Hi, I was searching online for a good deli style roast beef recipe and stumbled on this wonderful blog. I would just like to know what type of roast is this, round roast? rump roast? What is the cut of the meat? Botton of the round or Top of the round? Any help is welcomed. Thanks
