Bottom Round Roast

Did someone say roast beef? It’s also known as bottom round roast—a lean cut from the round primal.

It’s hard to go wrong when you choose 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef. But for best results, we recommend cooking this cut low and slow. If you have a slow cooker or a Dutch oven, you have the key to a tender, juicy, wow-worthy dinner.

Sear this cut with some additional fat (which you’ll need to add due to its leanness) for an excellent pot roast. Throw in some black pepper, tarragon, thyme, and carrots while you’re at it!
