Smoked Eye Of Round

Eye of Round. Eye of round roast is relatively lean and extremely flavorful. It can be a bit tough, so a slow smoke will do wonders with this cut of meat. Cooking to medium or under will help keep the meat plenty tender. Sliced thin across the grain, this meat will fall apart and melt in your mouth.
