Top Comments of this video!! :3
I love this video! As a Hispanic, flank, skirt, and eye of round are absolute staples in Mexican food. The way to cook the meats in the Do Not But category, such as the eye of round, is to add it into a pot with water and bring it to a simmer to cook for a while, like an hour or two. Low and slow is the key. Then, you can shred the beef and add them to tacos, chalupas, tostadas, or nachos. Enjoy!

I am not sure if you'll see this message but, I am fifteen and I do a competition that is known as Meats Judging or Meats evaluation, but I have learned a lot and I thought I would share somethings with you like one of my personal most favorite cuts which would be the Beef Chuck Chuck eye steak it is essentially a cheaper ribeye that is as good if not better than the Beef loin ribeye steak. And the second thing is about the cut that I know as the mock tender and you lay it it out and cut it open you will see that huge piece of connective tissue that is one of the main determining factors of where it comes from but to get it to be tender enough to eat willingly I would treat it as a stew meat and cook it in broth and vegetables with your choice of seasoning. But that I have learned over the years and love your videos. Thank you!

This was really helpful, thank you
Just wanted to add another searing technique not mentioned in the video, the double sear. Just tried it for the first time the other day on some cheap grocery story sirloins, and it turned out great
1. Season and dry brine for 1 day in the fridge
2. Take out of fridge and let rest for at least 1 hour
(I wasn't using a cast iron pan, so I pre-heated the pan to the highest setting, and then immediately turned it down to medium heat after I put the steak in, this helped develop an amazing crust. I had read a bit that when putting a steak in a pan, it causes a "cold shock" effect where it will suck a lot of energy out, so I figured this would be alright. Probably don't try this if you're using a cast iron though)
3. Put the steak's in the pan with oil, I used olive oil though I'm sure any oil will work.
3a. Due to the previously mentioned strategy, I fried the side first that would be visible when serving the steak.
4. Fry both sides for 90 seconds each
5. Let rest for at least 10 minutes out of the pan (preferably on something grated, but I used a plate here)
6. Fry both sides again for 90 seconds each, I used the high heat technique again here.
7. Let stand for at least 5 minutes.
8. Serve

In Nicaragua, we cook eye of round in a a pressure cooker with onion, green bell peppers, garlic, salt and water. Once it's cooked, we process the meat, add finely chopped onions and green peppers, salt & pepper, and lime juice. This recipe is called Salpicón and it's DELICIOUS. We typically eat salpicón at room temperature or cold.

Dude you hit the nail on the head. Always use your eyes people. I'm a butcher for over 30 years and I can honestly tell you that I've seen meat come in as Prime that didn't look as good as some of the choice grade that we get. Don't worry so much about what the label says. Always give it the eye test.

Tri-tip tip that I've found to be pretty useful: if you're planning to buy a whole Tri-tip toast and cut it into steaks, cut them WITH the grain first. Like the picanha, this method will allow you to slice each steak against the grain once you're done cooking it.
Great vid overall Max, I've been itching for a comprehensive guide on buying and cooking steaks these days and this hits all the right notes ^^

I really liked the tip you added about talking to your butcher. As a butcher myself, I can confidently tell you that the #1 thing we're concerned with is making sure you know what you're buying. I've about lost count at this point over the years how many times I've helped someone who has no idea what they're doing and are afraid to ask questions. I don't know a single butcher who makes commission so we're not going to upsell something to you. You're trying to buy something to take home and enjoy with yourself, friends, or family, and we want you to have a good experience. Please please please do not be afraid to ask us anything.
