How to Make the Best Roast Beef with Zip-Style Sauce

FAQ

What is a bottom round roast good for?

The bottom round roast is typically used for roast beef but can make an excellent pot roast. This roast comes from the round primal or the rear part of the cow. It is leaner than either the brisket or chuck, so you may need to add some additional fat to prevent your pot roast from drying out.

What is the best way to tenderize a bottom round roast?

Bottom round roast is best tenderized by slow cooking for long periods of time. The longer your round roast cooks, the more tender it will become. Since it’s more of a low-fat cut of meat it’ll take more time to get the muscle in the roast to break down. So, just be patient and give it that time.

What is the best temperature to cook a bottom round roast?

Cooking Notes

The Bottom Round Roast is the perfect oven roasting meat. Our favorite way to roast this cut is to preheat your oven to 500°F, and roast for 10 minutes. Then drop your oven temperature to 225°F and cook until internal temp is 120°F. Let it rest, and slice as thin as you can (the thinner the better).

Is bottom round a good cut for roast beef?

The Bottom Round has all the great flavor of the Top Round, but it’s not as big and has a slightly tighter grain. It makes a great roast beef, and some of the best Cube Steaks you’ll ever taste.
