@JoNorvelleWalkerYa, you're right. Lipstick on a pig? Just such affordable beef. We have eaten our fill of chicken, pork and pasta lately. 

If you are craving the taste of beef then eye of round is not the answer. Without fat very little of the beef flavour comes through. You might consider a small portion of a more expensive and tastier cut of beef. Speaking only for myself I find that a small portion of a very flavourful protein satisfies more than a larger portion of something like eye of round.

You are absolutely right. I'll walk on by.

actually, , , eye round works fairly well for minute-steak style sandwiches - wet cook method, and sliced very thin, au jus. 

mechanical slicer recommended, hand slicing that requires (a) really sharp long knife and (b) some practice....

Yes super quick hot pan + sauce. Or dropped into hot soup like pho. Very thin sliced. A standard in the Korean and Japanese markets here that I shop at. - sold frozen and best to slice from part frozen to get thin. Japanese with a teriyaki style sauce with plenty of the sauce over rice A or with the yaki-soba packets. sauce over rice..  Agreed to me the braising and stewing just gives ya some protein to chew on w/o major beef. Prompting the Wendy's classic commercials "where's the beef?!?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FZNYXKHwNw
