Looking for Recipe Ideas for a Bottom Round Roast – Any Tips for This Tough Cut?

[anatomy1]

Can you please give me an idea or a recipe for a bottom round roast. I know it's a tougher cut of meat but it's what I can afford right now.

I appreciate all your generosity with your recipes. Thanks a lot!

If you have a crockpot I’d do the Mississippi pot roast recipe.

Throw it in a Crockpot and add your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook on low 6-8 hrs. then shred and serve on buns or top baked potatoes with it. Mississippi pot roast is a perfect recipe to use as well.

@mdj71 yup, or change above up add soup, golden mushroom, vegetables, mix flavor like onion dip mix or ranch dip mix

Any tough cuts of meat need to be cooked low and slow. You can add any gravy packets, dry dressing packets with water. You can do Italian beef with dry ranch. Mississippi pot roast with dry ranch. Don’t be afraid to use alot of water. It will absorb

@pavel7 when I do a Mississippi pot roast I don’t add water. I just use the stick of butter and the other seasoning that the recipe calls for.

Chunk it up and marinate, put on skewer and grill . Our meat isn't as tough as it used to be. Especially chuck.

Bottom round just marinate for a day.

crock pot it

Definitely crockpot it. Combine a can of cream of mushroom and a packet of Lipton onion mix with a half cup of water. Cook it all, low and slow.

Best way is a pot roast. Mine turn out so tender and full of flavour. Take your thawed or fresh roast and sprinkle all over/around with salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a frying pan heat oil and sear all sides and ends of your roast ( to lock the juices in). Put roast in a large pot or Dutch oven. In frying pan put a chopped onion and a tsp or two of minced garlic. when the onions are soft add them to the roast. Add a can of diced tomatoes and 3 bay leaves an then fill the tomato can with water and add to the roast cook on med-high heat on the stove top, checking periodically to turn the roast and to make sure it has not gotten too low on liquid. After 3 hours, remove the lid and add 3/4 cup brown sugar and stir it into the tomatoes. now you will have to keep a close eye on it and stir it often so the sugar does not burn or the tomatoes stick to the bottom. Cook until meat if very fork tender and then remove meat and slice and put the tomato mixture ( minus the bay leaves) into a bowl to serve as a sauce for the meat. Serve with mashed potatoes or accordion style ( Hasselback to Americans) and carrots or veg of your choice. My husband loves his roast done this way ( so much so that the first time I made it he kept going back to the fridge at night when I was at work and ate all the leftover sauce LOL LOL)

1 can or bottle of beer( which is a tenderizer) 1 pkg dry zesty Italian dressing, 2 beef bullion cubes..

 

[anatomy1]

@christianisaac I've never tried beer as a tenderizer. Now I'm curious. Do i slow cook it too?

 

[christianisaac]

@anatomy1 yes in the crockpot.
I also use beer on my steaks

 

[christianisaac]

My kids also loved it cuz they thought I got to eat beer

 

[trhovshikashko]

Slow cook 8 hours in the crockpot with onions, carrots, potatoes, beef broth and onion soup mix.
Delicious

 

[anatomy1]

@trhovshikashko Sounds easy too! Thank you for sharing the recipe

 

[anatomy1]

@citizenpatrick Oh wow!!! That looks delicious!

 

[citizenpatrick]

@anatomy1 so cheap and easy too! Just make a roast in the crock pot (with vegetables, there's a million recipes online), and put it on baked potatoes, make some Mac and cheese, and another side if you want it
