Eye of round (veal or beef)

Also called: Hilib aroosto (eye of round) (Soomaali) · Rond de gîte (veau ou bœuf) (Français) · عين الفخذ (عجل أو بقر) (العربية)

What to look for

Eye of round is a long, lean, even cylinder from the back leg, so it slices neatly. Look for a smooth, evenly shaped piece that is rosy pink for veal or red for beef, with a thin layer of fat and no dark or dry edges.
