Ways of cooking Beef(eye round)?

[r0dparks]

Guys can you suggest simple ways to cook beef eye rounds?

I don't have access to a grill and i can't seem to find fatfree cooking sprays here in korea..

So should i..
-boil the meat?
-cook in a pan with some olive oil?
-any other options??

I'll be cooking them in bulk.. Need all the help i can get...

I use round in stir fries. Cut into thin strips, marinate (if u want to) then fry in olive oil...then take that out and set aside. Stir fry your veggies, then add the beef Back in. I make my own stir fry sauces and marinades with soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, etc.

Its a very chewy cut of beef. I personally avoid it at all costs.

For chewier cuts of beef like eye round, I definitely recommend a marinade of some kind for at least 2 hours to really get at it. Then you'll want to cook it sorta slow. Roasting is a good method, but you'll need to make sure to use oil of some kind (personally, I'd use olive oil) with a dash of salt and pepper per taste. However, this would also apply to pan cooking. Most non-stick pans won't work due to their thin frying surface. If you can get ahold of a cast iron pan, it makes marvels out of stove top steaks. Just remember not to cook too fast with a cut like this as it gets rubbery/chewy easy.

Look up various recipes on cooking websites with the "eye round" as your main search and you should find some interesting ideas.

Do you have access to a Crock Pot? You can throw it in the crock all day long with what ever veggies, spices, worchester. When you get home, you have tender juicy tastyness.
