Recipe Roast Beef Lunch Meat

[detroitdad]

This doesn't get much easier than this. I have made it three times. I use a different dry rub each time. Simply use whatever you like.

I have also made my own turkey and ham lunch meat. The key is a meat slicer!

1 Eye of Round Roast. I have used anywhere from a 3.5 to a 4.5 pound piece of meat.

Dry Rub (yesterdays dry rub)

Kosher salt
Garlic Powder
Black pepper
Liquid smoke

I let the roast sit out for 60 minutes
Patted it dry
Applied a layer of mustard. I used Dijon
apply the dry rub

I placed the roast on a raised rack on a sheet pan.

Cook the roast at 500 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower the temp to 300 and cook until done. I pulled my roast out at a 125 degrees.

I placed the roast on a separate raised rack and let it rest for 1 hour. Then wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours to overnight.

Slice and enjoy.

I also save all of the drippings. I add the drippings to a beef stock and make an au jus.

Nice slices, is that machine sliced?

Yes. I bought a meat slicer a few months ago. It is a life changer if you plan on consistently making your own lunch meat. I think it was right around $120 'ish

I have one and think the same, well worth it of you make your own sandwich meat
It’s not just that it makes the slicing faster and more consistent, it changes the texture of the meat and makes it taste like urr.. sandwich meat!
