Reply to "Eye of round?"

chaplainbillMember

Just stopped by Sams yesterday and scouted case prices on potential jerky meat. Eye of round was 3.33/LB case price and Sirloin Tip (knuckle) was about the same. Bottom round was a dime more.

I'll be picking up a case on Wed when I'm back close to a sam's club. My question is, does the Eye of round taste 'roasty' vs 'steakish'

My experience is with knuckle roast which I think is sirloin tip, which was definitely steakish. It has no real marbling, but a few isolated fat deposits, which I left on and trimmed off after smoking with scissors.

Any advice or am I making any sense with my roast/steak distinction.

Also, I have a 12-inch slicer which I plan to save time, and frustration by par-freezing the meat and slicing it with the silver skin on, the trimming the finished pieces as required with some sharp scissors. Any advice?
