How to Cook It

Three Ways to Perfection

Akaushi round roast is forgiving thanks to its marbling. These are our recommended methods.

Method 01

Low Oven Roast

Season and sear all sides. Roast at 300°F on a rack until 135°F internal for medium-rare. Rest 20 minutes.

Oven 300°F → Internal 135°F → Rest 20 min

Slice as thin as possible against the grain. This cut rewards thin slicing.

Method 02

Pot Roast Braise

Sear, add stock and vegetables. Cover and braise at 300°F for 3 hours.

Oven 300°F for 3 hours

Add root vegetables in the last hour. They absorb the braising liquid beautifully.

Method 03

Slow Cooker

Sear first. Transfer to slow cooker with stock, onions, garlic. Low for 8 hours.

Shred the leftovers and toss with barbecue sauce for pulled beef sandwiches.

The Sunday Roast That Feeds the Week

The round roast is the practical cut. It feeds a family of six on Sunday and provides sandwiches for the rest of the week. In commodity beef, it can be dry and bland. In Akaushi, the extra marbling throughout the round changes the equation entirely.

Slice it thin for roast beef sandwiches that rival any deli. Shred it for tacos. Cube the leftovers for hash. A single round roast from an Akaushi steer provides more meals and more flavor than any grocery store equivalent.
