eye round
Lean hindquarter roast
Eye round is a lean, boneless cut of beef from the rear leg, part of the round primal.
The name comes from its oval shape.
Because it lacks fat marbling, eye round is economical but can be tough if overcooked—best roasted slowly or sliced thin for sandwiches: She bought an eye round roast for Sunday dinner.
