• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

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.

Waiting to be 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! 😂
