Jump to RecipeSmoked eye of round is an underrated cut of meat that when prepared correctly is perfect for slicing thin for sandwiches and has a rich beefy flavor.
Eye round is a very lean cut so we need to add some fat and plenty of liquid or it can turn out dry so be sure to checkout my secrets so yours comes out perfect.
Why This Smoked Eye of Round is the Best
After 20 years Cooking in professional kitchens I developed a method that will make sure your eye of round comes out perfect every time.
If you have never smoked an Eye of round you might think you can just grill it hot and fast like a tenderloin but you would be very disappointed.
Eye round is a wonderful cut of beef but it's incredibly lean and will come out dry and tough if you don't cook it right.
This recipe shows you how to smoke the eye of round so it slices like butter. The key is to smoke the beef then braise it with flavor so its tender and juicy all the way though.
Why you'll love Beef Eye Round
If you are at the grocery store, and looking for an economical, and affordable cut of beef that’s great for smoking, and will deliver on big beef flavor then don’t sleep on considering an eye of round roast!
I know what you are thinking – Frank, that is a tough cut of beef. Well, that is because it is often poorly prepared and results in super dry beef that is tough to chew.
However, with a little bit of attention, this “tough cut” can give your Texas brisket a run for its money. Slow-braised in beef au jus and butter, this eye of round has a massive beef flavor!

Ingredients for Smoked Eye of Round Roast
- Meat: 4 lb of eye of round beef.
- Seasoning: 1 tsp coarse ground black pepper, ½ tbsp real salt, ½ tsp granulated garlic, and ½ tsp of granulated onion.
- Slow Cooking Ingredients: ½ cup of beef broth and ½ stick of butter.
Helpful Kitchen Tools
Pan: Don’t want to heavily wrap your meat before adding butter and broth? Consider using an aluminum shallow roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
Meat Thermometer: When checking for doneness it is important to be confident in your meat’s temperature. I recommend having an ovenproof thermometer or an instant read thermometer on hand.
How to make Beef Eye Round Roast
- Trim fat. Trim any excess fat on the fat side of the eye round and remove any silver skin.
- Brine. To make the brine, follow the directions in the section below.
- Season. Prepare the seasoning by combining salt, pepper, onion, and garlic.
- Prep meat and smoke. Pat brined beef dry and season the eye of round with the spice blend. Smoke at 225 degrees for 3-4 hrs or until beef reaches 160-170 degrees F.
- Wrap and add broth and butter, and continue cooking. Remove your eye of round from the smoker and raise the temperature to 300 degrees F. Double Wrap the Eye Round in aluminum foil with a ½ cup of beef broth and ½ stick of butter added in. Reinsert the probe and return it to the smoker.
- Smoke the meat. Cook beef for 3-4 more hrs depending on size until beef reaches an internal temperature of between 205-210 degrees F.
- Let meat rest. Open the top of the foil to let the beef rest in the juices until it cools to about 150 degrees F. Before slicing into ¼ inch slices.
- Serve and Enjoy. Before serving, pour off the au jus and serve alongside the eye of round.
Brining Beef Eye Round
Most of the time when you think of brining or curing beef we are discussing brisket to make corned beef or pastrami.
Eye of round can benefit from some of these processes as well. I like to give the eye round an overnight brine using real salt (kosher salt works too), peppercorns (or freshly ground course black pepper), bay leaves, onion powder, and garlic powder.
The beef will turn a pale color but don’t worry, it won’t affect the final product other than making it more tender and juicy. For an easy cheat recipe for pastrami check out this recipe.
How to get a Perfect Smoke Ring
To achieve a perfect smoke ring start the beef roast at a lower temperature around 225 for the first 3-4 hrs. Once the eye of round has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. It’s really taken on all the smoke that it can.
Then you can wrap it up and raise the temperature after that. Once the eye of round is wrapped I’ll turn my smoker up to 300 degrees F and cook it until I hit 205-210 degrees F internally.
Resting Before Slicing
This is the key to your success or failure in this recipe. You’ve been cooking all day and you’re hungry but don’t let your impatience get the best of you.
At 205-210 degrees F. the beef has pushed out a lot of juices but it can reabsorb those juices if you give it time. Plus if you cut it while it’s that hot it will probably tear and crumble when slicing.
Open the foil carefully on top so the beef can breathe and cool down a bit. Make sure the beef still sits in its own au jus. Let the beef cool down for 30-45 minutes until it hits an internal temperature of 150 degrees.
It will still be hot and ready to eat but it will be perfectly moist as well. Pour off that leftover au jus in a bowl to serve alongside the eye of round for even more beefy goodness.
What to serve with Beef Round Eye Roast
Make it a whole meal complete with incredible side dishes! Serve up your tender beef with a side of Sheet Pan Green Beans Almondine with Bacon, Bacon Cheddar Broccoli Bake, or Corn and Avocado Summer Salad- Best Cookout Side Dishes!
Pro-Tip: Don't forget a nice glass or cup of red wine to finish it off.
How to Slice a Beef Eye of Round
You have 2 choices when slicing your eye of round. You can cook it less and retain more moisture but have it be tougher. Option two, you can cook it a little longer and have it be a lot more tender.
Both methods work but need to be sliced completely differently. If you choose to undercook the eye round then it’s important to slice it as thinly as possible. Or you can use a meat slicer if that would be even better.
If you cook it longer then the goal should be to slice it at pencil thickness just like you would slice a beef brisket.
Cut a slice and take a bite, and if you are happy with the tenderness then keep the slices that thickness. If it’s a little tougher than you would like, slice it thinner and if it’s crumbling, slice it a little bit thicker.
You can dunk the slices in the au jus before serving to make the meat even juicier.
Storing leftover Beef Eye Round Roast
Allow your meat to reach room temperature and then grab an airtight container and toss it in the fridge.
The leftovers will keep for about 3-5 days, in the refrigerator, and you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Don’t forget to save your leftover beef au jus too.
Other ways to use your Eye of Round Roast
There are so many amazing dishes that you can make with leftover roast beef, that you will be hoping you have some leftovers so that you can try them all!
- Pot Pie with Roast Beef, vegetables, and gravy
- Roast beef sandwiches (don’t forget the Au Jus)
- Roast beef, lettuce, and tomato tortilla roll-ups
- Serve it on top of salad
- Roast beef nachos with cheese, lettuce, salsa, and sour cream
- Chop some up and put it in scrambled eggs or potatoes
Beef Round Eye Roast FAQs
The eye of round roast is located on the back leg of the cow and at first glance looks very similar to the tenderloin.
That being said it’s an extremely tough cut of beef because of its constant movement and being a weight-bearing muscle of the animal. It is very lean with lots of connective intermuscular tissue.
To break all that down you’ll want to cook this cut low and slow. Not for nothing, but another big advantage of the eye round is the price.
Eye round is often on sale at local markets and in my research almost always cheaper than brisket.
Yes, eye of round roasts are sometimes labeled as top round roasts at the butcher counter. They are both the same cut of beef from the rear leg of the animal though.
Great question, but no eye of round roasts and beef chuck roasts are not the same cut of meat at all, although they are both tougher cuts of meat, and are usually more economical than other cuts.
As we mentioned, round roasts are from the rear leg of the animal, while chuck roasts are cut from the shoulder, and are a bit fattier.

Really interested in how this turned out? Even w/ the brining, cooking to a temp of 210 and cutting that thick...I can't imagine how many times you had to chew? Maybe I'm wrong. Cooked 2 last week,...the Medium Rare one, sliced very thin was good. However, the one that creeped up to Medium Well was almost inedible.
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
its all or nothing, you can slice thin like you did at med rare otherwise you have to treat it like brisket and cook it well beyond well done to break down the muscle fibers. I wrap it so it sit in its own au jus to stay moist. when its done its fork tender and not chewy at all.
Cathy
Turned out amazing. I did not brine it before but followed the recipe from there. My cook time was 7 hours then let it rest for 45 mins. Just did my 4th 1 last night. Comes out fall apart tender.

Can i did it for a smaller piece.
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
yes you can use a smaller piece, it will change the cooking time but internal temps will remain the same

Even with the mistakes (no time to brine) and adaptations (wrapped at 140 and finished in the oven) this was the most tender eye of round I have ever raten.

Ed
Have you tried this with a butcher paper wrap instead of foil?
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
normally I use butcher paper with beef but for this recipe I prefer the foil so I dont lose any of the juices. I pour all the rendered beef juices into a pot and add beef stock to make an au jus to serve along with the eye round to keep it extra moist.
Eleegp
Made this recipe with a few alterations. I already had the meat marinading when I read this recipe. So I skipped the brine. I followed most of the rest of this recipe, but instead of just beef stock in the "wrapped part" I added some of the marinade that I cooked first. The meat was soft and flavorful. My husband said it was the best piece of beef he's ever had!!
The Real Person!

Fantastic!! thank you for the feedback and I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe!! I do love that Eye round recipe
Brad
I am going to try this recipe tomorrow (sans brine), but my question is what do you estimate in cooking time getting the meat from 160 to 210? I assume there may be a stall like in a brisket. I am trying to predict cooking time, thx!
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
depending on the size its normally about 2-3 hours. you can also raise the smoker temp once its wrapped to speed it up a bit.

I have made this a couple of times now for my In-Laws and my father in law always raves about it. Smoke it on the BGE. I found that when i finished at 206 it was perfect.
I could drink the Au Jus.
I picked up a couple of top sirloin that were on sale. Do you think I will get the same result as the Eye?
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
Yes a sirloin will be similar but depending on the fat content it will provably be tender at a lower temp. I have a smoked chuck roast recipe on my other website culinarylion.com that I cook more like a brisket.
David Crawley
My new favorite. Did not brine. Injected with beef broth. Coated with Montreal steak seasoning and followed directions from there. Sliced as thin as I could. So juicy and flavorful. Made copycat Arby sauce and ate the 3 pound roast in 3 days by myself. Try it-you will like it.

I want to make this today. I will have to inject and not brine. What type of wood did you use for your smoke?

The Real Person!
I like using a blend most of the time but for beef I normally use hickory, oak or pecan.

Would you use this same method on a bottom.round?

Sure the same method is gonna work on a top round, London broil or a chuck roast.

I skipped the brine because I had already marinated the roast before I found this recipe. Other than that, I followed the directions to the letter.
The meat was tender, but dry. I was disappointed.
Pellet grill king
Not sure what this guy is thinking but you don’t cook anything to 210°? Jesus chicken is what 165. Why would you go another 50° on a roast? Unless you’re looking for beef jerky do not do this. Pull it off at about 150 and let it rest for about 10 minutes
Terry
Going to start this recipe tonight when I get home from work. I have an almost 8 lbs eye of round so I obviously need to double everything, but my eye of round has some hard fat on the bottom should I trim this or leave it alone?
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
You can trim it up a bit but you can leave some fat, it will be fine
Justin Ray
Someone tell pellet grill king this isn't chicken or a steak you don't cook it to temp you cook it harder to break down the meat. You don't cook brisket or chuck to 165 you cook it more and let it rest. Some of these pellet guys think they know everything
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
Yeah, everyone is entitled an opinion but You would have to slice that eye round paper thin at that temperature for it to be tender.
jimmie black
can you use a sirloin tip roast rather than eye of round
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
I think that would be fine. You may want to cook that more like a chuck roast bit either way will work.

I tried this tonight. I've done the rare and I must say it turned out absolutely amazing. Worried all day about the outcome cause I've done medium rare and everyone love it but this was great. Never would have thought. Good job. Loved this recipe.
Boomer
To the "Pellet King", apparently you've never smoked a brisket before.Pull @ 203° and let rest. Same with this cut. Fat renders and tenderizes (for lack of a better word) the tough meat.
JR
Thanks so much for posting this. While I've modified it a bit, your plan helped me turn eye of round into a family favorite.
I skip the brine and do a mustard rub, take it up to 160 then, wrap it with Full stick of butter and follow the rest of the instructions.
My 10 year old would never eat any other beef and now requests this. I make it a couple times each month.

I have the eye round roast on my Rec Teq Bullseye 380 cook g at 225. Been on for 2.25 hrs and looking good at an internal temp of 142 degrees. I followed the recipe exactly as posted and will continue until the very end. I will follow up with a final comment once my eye round roast has been finished and served to eat. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Instead of wrapping it in foil, could I use a foil pan and cover it? Or would that not keep it moist enough?
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
Yes that will work just as well if not better
Ed
Just up from the table. Excellent way to cook eye of round. We have cooked "low and slow" to 200°F for years. Three hours of smoke added a great depth of flavor. If they are still on sale at Kroger in the morning we will do this again soon.

What type of pellets do you use?

The Real Person!
I use the Kingsford Competition blend most of the time
Thomas
I'm in the process of making this and I've got so many questions.
For the Beef Brine;
1. The head garlic cloves. Do you peel it? Do you cut it? Do you crush it?
2. Do you bring the whole concoction to a boil before setting it to simmer? Or just bring it up to a simmer?
3. How long do you simmer it for? An hour? Longer?
4. When you put the beef into the brine do you refrigerate it, let it sit at room temperature, or do you keep adding ice to it to keep it chilled?
For the Smoked Eye Round w/ Au Jus
1. For the garlic in the Spiceology mixture, is it to be garlic salt, granulated garlic or garlic powder?
2. When you mention 1/2 stick of butter, is it a half pound, or 1/8 pound (assuming 4 sticks to a pound of butter)?
I'm excited to see how this turns out. The comments below are so positive.

So I did the brine and was looking to add something to the pot to bring the brine over the top of the meat...we just bought a case of cherry coke so I fit a couple unopened cans would do the trick. I checked the brine a few hours later and the mixture caused one of the cans to pop, haha. I left it be, we will see how a little cherry flavor works out.

I am smoking 2 eye of rounds (5 1/2 lbs) for Easter. I'm doing them ahead of time and wonder how soon after they are done do they need sliced. I'd like to do it the next day. Thoughts??
Rich Barnhart
I’m smoking 2 eye of rounds for Easter 6lbs apiece. I’d like to smoke them the night before. Will it be ok to wait and slice them the next morning? How would you store them over night? I could probably do it overnight if that would be better. Thoughts?
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
Eye round is very lean and can dry out. If you have to slice it ahead of time you'll need to heat the au jus and rehydrate the meat. The total cook time is around 6-7 hours. If you cook them early in the morning you can let them rest and keep them hot in a cooler wrapped in a towel then slice right before serving. Hope that helps
Chris Lane Rocks
This is about affiliate links, would NEVER cook a eye of round this way... unless you like chewing on rubber. Low and slow 225° pull at 135 and wrap in foil. Drop in a cooler for an hour. Your jaw will thank me. Ultra tender melt in your mouth, cut against the grain. Better yet cool down and run it through your slicer.

Its funny you would write a review like this. Ive made this recipe many times and it comes out perfect each time. Im a professionally trained chef who works regularly with my local butcher. Top round can be prepared many different ways but I assure you this is as tender as a brisket

This is the first time I've felt compelled to leave a review on a recipe I followed. I was skeptical about getting this cut of meat to such a high internal temp, but it came out fantastic. Made sandwiches with thick slices and you could bite right through the meat. Family loved it. This is my go-to recipe for round roast now.

Trying this recipe out in a few days, I'm stressed and excited about this one! My roast is 8 pounds, how much longer do you think it will take to smoke?
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
It really won't take too much longer because its not about the weight as much as it is the diameter. Dont stress. Start early and let it rest if it finishes before you're ready to serve. Slice it at the last minute and pour over some au jus to keep it moist
ben
I brined overnight and I am about to start up my smoker. Ill be using hickory pellets and I am super excited for this process! I like to smoke the cheaper cuts but as you stated you need to slice super thin for it to be tender. So far I have followed everything to a T. Thank you for the detailed instructions hopefully I dont screw it up!!! When you wrap it do you put the meat in first then pour over the broth? My only worry is leakage from the foil.
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
If you want you can wrap the roast in an aluminum pan so nothing leeks ( or any oven safe dish)
Just be sure to save the juices to pour over the eye round to keep it moist.

Is the brine with the smashed garlic and rough chopped onion as good as the granulated garlic and onion?

I followed this recipe and it was perfect. Forget the leftovers advice, there were none! Tender and juicy, my family of 5 gobbled it up. The one thing I would leave out is the butter in the au jus, too rich, I would just go with the beef broth the next time.

Jeff Rensberger
This worked great! It finished earlier than I expected, so I had to keep it in a warm oven, but even with that it was very tender.
My wife found the eye of round on sale, but doesn't like anything that looks red in cooked meat. So all the other recipes that said pull and slice at 135 were nonstarters. This worked perfectly.
I dry brined and so kept the salt out of the rub. I also used a little more pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder than your recipe because I had nor wet brined with seasoning. I used a foil pan covered with foil.
I cooked on a Kamado joe and FYI it only took about 6 hours. Also FYI, I do something similar with chuck roast and that is good too!
Thanks for the recipe.

Did not brine, as many of the commenters had not with good results. Hit 160 at 4.5 hours using a Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker with cherry wood for my smoke. For whatever reason I could not get my heat up to 300 so I wrapped it and finished it in the oven, I figured once it's wrapped it does not know the difference as to where it's at. It had great flavor but it was anything but moist, I sliced it thinner than 1/4" and hit it with the Au Jus which helped make it more edible. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
The Real Person!
The Real Person!
Eye round is insanely lean so it dries out the moment you slice it, that's why I always recommend keeping it in the au jus. Thanks for the feed back as always!
Richard
Am I glad I came across this receipe. I bought two whole eye of round roast atthe local family grocery store when they had a met sale. The first one I sliced into steaks and ran them through the tenderizer a half dozen times just so w could make chicken fried steak. I knew I didn't want to go through that again.
I followed this receipe including the overnight brine.. Then seasoned it and place on my Pit Boss at 225. Four hours later I wrapped in and added the beef broth and butter. The second cook only took 2 hours to reach the 210 degrees. Brought it in, let it rest.
Result- Fork tender. I'm saving this receipe.
