Grilled Eye of Round Steak Recipes

Grilled Eye of Round Steak Recipes

The eye of round is a lean cut of beef from the back leg that runs from the buttocks to the ankle. This piece is less tender than other pieces. In this case, marinating the meat piece for 30 minutes or so or even not overcooking crucially helps break down the meat.

I would suggest medium rare for the eye of round. Serve it with grilled potatoes, salad, rice, whatever you can go with. So, without further due, let’s jump into the grilled eye of round steak recipes.
