We did our monthly meat run to Sam's Club today. I usually buy a large
eye round roast, cut it in half and freeze half. My DH likes roast beef
sandwiches for lunch and I don't like him to eat all that sodium and
chemical filled crap from the deli so I smear a half of an eye round
roast with EVOO, hit it with granulated garlic, black pepper, onion
powder and paprika and make him roast beef. He loves it.

Today they didn't have any of these roasts in the case. I asked the
butcher for one and he said that he had the whole eye in cryovac for
$1.60 per pound less. He said to cut off both ends and I'd have my
roast. I did just that and it was a lovely piece of meat at a decent
savings. Not too much extra fat to trim.

The end pieces were trimmed, cut into cubes and frozen for stew this
winter (if it ever gets cold)

I'm going to by the whole cryovac one from now on!
