Beef Round Roast
Varieties
Round Tip Roast
The round tip roast, which may be sold as a trimmed tip roast or ball tip roast, is the most tender of the round roasts.
Top Round Roast
Top round is another of the more tender round roasts and is also the leanest.
Rump Roast
This roast is cut from the bottom of the round; the bone is then removed and the meat rolled and tied. If the bone is left in, it is known as a standing rump roast. Premium or choice grades of rump roast can be roasted but select rump roast is best when braised, and makes a flavourful pot roast.
Beef Eye of Round Roast
One of the less-tender round roasts, the eye of round should be cooked with moist heat.
Pikes Peak Roast
Also called heel of round, the Pikes Peak roast is cut from low in the round, just above the hock. It contains many small muscles and lots of connective tissue. This is the least tender of the round roasts, but cooks up into a pot roast with excellent flavour.
