Eye of round is a steak that can not be cooked rare. It will be tough. It lends best to being cooked medium rare. Just a touch of pink in the middle. I served with sautéed mushrooms onion and garlic. And paired with a creamy jalapeño cheddar polenta and Cajun roasted cauliflower

cooking is a passion of mine. I started when I was very young and I had to drag a milk crate around to see over the counter. taught by a career cook (my grandmother ). I have always tried to push the boundaries of conventional cooking. I prefer cooking wild game. when I can get my hands on it, but fish is more readily available for me. I raise and butcher most of the livestock that I use for my conventional recipes. I hope everyone can find a few recipes they like in my list.
