Part of the bottom round, the very economical round roast (aka bottom flat) is a long, thin muscle that is best suited roasting whole (for roast beef) or moist cooking methods such as stewing or braising.

Larger cuts of beef (like bottom flats) are best cooked with a probe thermometer, which allows you to remove them from the oven at exactly the right time. Because they will continue to cook from residual heat (called carry over cooking) you should remove them from the oven 5-10 degrees before your desired finished temperature. They also should be rested (on a clean plate covered in foil) for 10-15 minutes prior to serving or cutting, so the flavorful juices can redistribute.
If using steaks, rest for only 5 minutes.
How to Store and Share: Each case of grass fed beef bottom flats contains two, both individually wrapped. This makes it easy to split the case with someone else or thaw only one at a time. These cuts should be kept frozen until you are getting ready to cook them, as thawing and refreezing can damage the meat’s texture and flavor. For thawing tips, read Safely Defrosting Food.
