About Eye of Round Steak and Eye of Round Roast
The eye of round roast and steak are round shaped cuts of meat from the outer portion of the round. The round is sometimes referred to as the rump or butt because it comes from the rear-most portion of the cow. These cuts of beef are very lean and can be eaten by those on certain low-fat diets.
