I bought this roast to share with my family on New Year's Day, and it was excellent. Beef prices are sky high right now, but when I buy a roast that's so lean, I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. I put it in a cooking bag with onions and peppers, and everyone enjoyed it. There was very little wastage here.

I cooked this roast in a slow cooker. Normally 4-5 hours is sufficient for a roast this size in my slow cooker, so I started it at lunchtime like usual. We had to figure something else out for dinner because at dinner time the roast was still tough. I cooked it a few more hours and it finally got tender. I cooled it, refrigerated it, and re-heated it the next evening for a fine dinner. Plan on at least 7-8 hours in the slow cooker to get it tender, and then it will be delicious.

This cut is consistently priced lower than most sale prices at local stores. It is well marbled for a bottom round roast, and consistently yields a well flavored, tender roast when pricked with a fork, marinated for 1-3 days, reverse seared at 170° to 225° F to about 128° internal, seared with a barbecue glaze at 500° after resting, and sliced thinly across the grain. It is my "go to" roast whenI don't want to splurge on rib roast, want sandwiches or both.

Great piece of meat the color was nice

Plastic taste, not good at all

Great taste. Very moist and tender after cooking.

A very good roast, tender and mouth watering.

A large amount of fat that appeared to be hidden until open and tutned over.

Roast was good and tender after cooking

The quality and size is perfect. Such a great value for the money.
