COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Due to its leanness, this cut excels when cooked using low-and-slow methods like roasting or braising to a rare or medium-rare doneness (125-135°F or 52-57°C).
2For maximum tenderness, always slice the cooked roast very thinly against the grain.
3Marinating the roast for at least 4-6 hours before cooking can add significant flavor and moisture.
4This cut is ideal for making deli-style roast beef, beef jerky, or thinly sliced steak for sandwiches and stir-fries.
