How To Prepare The Eye Of Round
- Drizzle worcestershire sauce evenly out over the beef, then add the dry marinade. Rub it in on all sides to coat.

- Carefully transfer the hot, smoked roast to an aluminum pan. Wrap the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and let it rest undisturbed for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the meat to a cutting board, and thinly slice.
- Pour any juices in the pan evenly out over the sliced meat before serving.
How To Make Smoked Eye Of Round Sandwiches
- Slice each hoagie bun in half lengthwise, toast if desired.
- Spread the creamy horseradish sauce evenly out over the inside of each bun. Then transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet.
- Add your desired amount of meat to each prepared hoagie roll.
- Top each hoagie with two slices of Swiss cheese.
- Bake the sandwiches at 350° for 5-10 minutes, just until cheese has melted over the meat.
- Serve warm, with more creamy horseradish sauce- if desired.
Notes
- Unlike most smoked recipes, this roast has a very short cook time. Make sure to keep the smoke up the whole cook time to really infuse it with that flavor.
- Trimming the fat can be trickly when it comes to beef. Make sure to trim away any excess fat, including the silver skin underneath. If you don't it can result in chewy meat.
- Slicing beef can be tricky without an industrial meat slicer. If you're not using an actual meat slicer, use a very thin and sharp knife. Slice slowly and as thin as possible.
- This meat can be enjoyed cold and makes excellent cold sandwiches as well!
