Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

We brown them in a skillet, add water, and cook until tender. Adding carrots and potatoes towards the end and making sure there is plenty gravy for the rice.

Season how you want. Two zone Front sear
Then HOT and fast. 400ish. Turn so one side does not over do. 5-6 mins a lbs for a base line pull at 130. Or rotisserie.

Roast Beef is a good thing for eye of round. Salt, pepper or your rub of choice and cook at 350 on smoker until you hit 125-130 degrees. Slice thin for roast beef sandwiches or French dips.

Well, I blew that one. I tried a variation of "President Ford's" braised round steak. I did something wrong. Probably didn't simmer long enough.

It's a tough cut to do anything with. Very little fat,very little connective tissue, working muscle. Needs help. Like gravy.
