Eye of round is a very lean, cylindrical muscle from the center of the round. It has little fat or marbling and can be quite tough, but has good beefy flavor. It is best slow-roasted at low temperature or cooked sous vide, then sliced paper-thin. It is also commonly used for deli roast beef and beef carpaccio.
