How to Make Deli-Style Roast Beef From a Whole Beef Leg — Prime Time

The Meat Hook Butchers Ben Turley and Brent Young have previously made deli-style classics like ham, bologna, and even the New Jersey specialty Taylor Ham. Now they’re trying their hand at another sliced meat: roast beef. The two break down a whole beef leg to get the best cut from the bottom round, cure the meat for two days, cook it low and slow for three hours, and make roast beef sandwiches.

Eater would like to assure viewers that all videos were shot before restaurants were asked to close. Check the CDC for the most updated guidance on dining out at restaurants.

This is the most informative video on how to make roast beef. Thank you! My bottom round is curing right now :)

Love you guys, you cheer me up after a hard day at work

I love using the bottom round for my catering roast beef. Here's a different way of cooking it that really makes it tender. 2 hours at 400° then put it in a "hot box" (highly insulated box to keep food hot) for 3 hours. Amazing results.

I love everything about you guys and your chemistry and your videos and please make more quickly i need them i beg of you

[Lucretzia]

This is so easy to do
I have made this twice now and it just gets better. This recipe is simple and works everytime

[geru]

I prepare the roast by similarly I add garlic and onion powder. After 2 days sewr it under the broiler then sous vide it for 24 hours to an internal temp of 125 degrees. Let it stand to cool down and slice thin on my cheap home slicer. A 5lb roast lasts maybe 2 days. Add James River BBQ sauce and you have heaven.

Guys, how much did the bottom round weigh?
What was the internal temp when you pulled it off? how much of each seasoning did you start out with? And lastly, if you were going to smoke it what wood would you use?

I realize this is a lot, so thank you very much
Loved the vid. Subbed and liked.

[ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

Bottom round (outside for us Canadians) makes good jerky, slow cooked in liquid, think baked in the oven in gravy.
