Q: You said the green that can form on the outside of potatoes when exposed to too much light is a toxin called solanine. Isn't that just harmless chlorophyll? A: Potatoes that are turning green do generally contain elevated levels of the glycoalkaloid poison solanine, which develops naturally in potatoes when exposed to light. It is dangerous, and you do want to avoid eating it. However, I was wrong in the video when I said the green itself is solanine. The green itself is chlorophyll, which is harmless. I apologize for the error, but it's also important to note that this is a distinction without a practical difference for us cooks/eaters. The development of chlorophyll and solanine in potatoes is strongly correlated - if there's a lot of chlorophyll, that's an indication that there's a lot of solanine. The solanine is concentrated near the surface of the potato (along with the chlorophyll), therefore peeling the potato until you don't see green anymore is a pretty good way of protecting yourself. The wikipedia article on this appears well-cited: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanine Q: Isn't the green stuff cyanide? A: As far as I can tell, that's a (persistent) myth. The problem is solanine, not cyanide. Q: What if I want my roast well done, rather than medium? A: Maybe 160 F / 70 C, but I really don't recommend roasting eye of round past medium. It will get super tough. You've probably had eye of round cooked all the way through before in the form of deli-sliced roast beef, but they're using a deli slicer - that gets it impossibly thin (which helps tenderization) and I suspect they might also use a long, wet cooking method to further break down connective tissue. For roasting, even slow roasting, I would urge cooking this no more than medium, and if you don't like pink beef, cook a more tender cut instead. Q: Is $6.99 a pound really that cheap for a beef roast? A: A standing rib roast (which is the standard cut for a big celebratory beef roast) would cost twice as much, so yes, I think so. Also, I bought this meat at Publix, which is not the cheapest grocery store (as I mentioned in the video). I go to Publix a lot because, from what I can gather, they treat their employees better than comparable grocery stores, and the environment is really nice - perhaps as a result of that good treatment. Q: What if I don't want to use mushrooms? A: I think the recipe could work if you simply skipped the dried mushroom powder, but you could compensate for the umami you're giving up by adding some soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to taste. Just be careful about salt, since both are very salty.
What’s the difference between purple and white garlic? Are they different species? Just a curious question. Also won’t the butter burn in the oven and give it a bitter burnt taste?
Hey Adam with the whole coronavirus situation a lot of meat workers are being forced to work. And there might be a nation wide shortage soon. So i was wondering if you can make some basic vegetarian options for people who might not be able or willing to buy meat during the pandemic

He's better than JW because I find JW annoying nearly as good as Babish. Babish has a better production value but there is a real personality to this more rustic style. Adam Ragusea is great
@@zaccohen1317 I agree, though honestly I find Adam’s shots and videography really nice, and better than Babish or Joshua Weissman. It’s much more close and interesting. IMHO
My late father usually served eye of round to guests. It took me a while as a boy, because he spoke of it with such affection, to realize it’s a nasty tough cut and he loved it because it is and he was so cheap. Rest In Peace, Dad. Some day I’ll have a shot at cooking eye of round sous vide... and I think it will still end up tough.
Ive always used eye of round for roasts and sandwiches, in the UK it’s actually one of the most popular cuts of any meat, since it’s a staple of Sunday roast dinners over here. It does take patience to make it tender, but DAMN, its price to taste ratio is off the charts
Hey Adam! That potato wasn't actually rotten on the inside. That is "hollowheart", a fairly common phenomenon with all types of potatoes where you have a build up of sugars right in the center caused by sudden changes in temperature during the growing season. If you just cut it out, the potato is completely safe to eat and tastes fine!
Dried mushroom powder is my secret weapon in the kitchen. I buy pure powder and use it in rubs and not only does the flavor add to the protein but since it is so good at absorbing juices it helps with the sear. I've seen some of your recipes using xanthan gum. I use it for thickening gravy since the viscosity stays constant no matter the temperature.
Lmao as soon as I heard Adam say he hates nutmeg I was like there's DEFINITELY going to be a Townsend reference in the comments and lo and behold here you are!

As infrequently as I use milk, I've recently switched to usually having cream on hand instead of milk. It's more "concentrated", so it takes up less space in the fridge. Compared to milk, it generally has a longer shelf life, tends to perform better in sauces, and it can be transformed into sour cream with just a splash of vinegar... or of course whipped cream with just a... whipping.
When my mother makes a roast she makes slits alongside the roast and stuffs a little clove of garlic in each slit. It really does make a big difference. I think it tastes great.
Eat your cereal mine used to make it the same way but I always hated the concentrated garlic flavor you get in these spots. And I would call me a garlic lover all things considered
As a butcher I almost never recommend the eye of round, I've always seen the cut as tough and lacking in flavour.

"This is definitely a weekend dinner". Not anymore, sir! It's definitely a pandemic dinner. Though working through the day with the smell of roast in the air might prove to be challenging. :P
@@futurephone1329 ah yes, I love said meat that we are talking about that is both tough and cheap, referred to as “round” or “rump” , I like to call it milkcheek. 🧐🧐
For me, this one turned out 140*F in about 2.5-3hrs! It was a 3.11lbs eye round roast. Thankfully it was taken out in time to stop there, and tasted great. I think the difference was because it had a substantial taper to it-one end was about 1/5 the size of the other. The oven was set to 200*F, and according to a thermometer inside was at right about 175*F.
And that’s how the deglazing crusades began opposing red and white. Notorious battles were the battle of the non-stick And the last stand of the teflon
Thank you for teaching me about xanthan gum and how to use it. I bought some a long time ago and it’s just sat in my pantry because I forgot why I bought it and didn’t really know what to do with it. Also, the eye roast is my favorite non-braised roast. I make it similarly to how you make yours but I dry brine it with kosher salt for about 24 hours so it’s seasoned throughout. (Dry brine for anyone who is curious: Coat with a couple tablespoons kosher salt and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use). I find that this roast makes the BEST lunch meat. When I make it for dinner, I only slice what were going to eat then wrap the rest of the roast in foil and refrigerate so it retains the juices. When you slice it cold you’ll see very little juice on the board. YUM!
I can't express my joy when you make comments like can't be bothered with white pepper. you are such a cook after my own heart, minimise the frills, and just make good food, in a more rustic way.
"Some people use white pepper, I cant be bothered with that." Inlove your cooking style sir. I've saved more of your recipes then anyone else. Thanks for making food videos that are open, honest, and accessible.
I've always felt eye of round has been under appreciated. I think it has a ”sirloin-y” flavor the bottom round does not have. I cook mine at 425 degrees for 4-5 minutes a pound, turn off the oven and let it sit for an hour. Juicy and relatively tender when sliced thin.
@adam ragusea - I tried the whole thing and it was great. Might I suggest a Pepin-style tip? Dust the muffin tins with parmesan (or some other finely grated cheese, but something dry works great) after oiling it. Really helps with the release!
The night before Thanksgiving, my husband volunteered me to make this for his family. I had to make everything in an AirBnb with whatever pots and pans on hand. Many thanks for this video. Family loved the roast and mashed potatoes.
just ran into your channel, and got to say this meal came out mighty awesome. The au jus was completely delicious. love that mushroom trick, I used shitake. love learning something new especially when it comes to cooking. Potatoes where screaming at me to eat more so creamy cheesy delicious. I'll be watching more of your videos. Thanks a mill.
I don't always agree with your philosophy on cooking, or what I sense your politics may be, but you are the most real ass of internet cooks and you have never grifted or wasted our time.

Thank you for using the latin name of the cut you use (M. semitendinosus), it makes things much easier to find equivalent cuts around the globe as different countries do have different cuts.
This is the silliest thing, but it's cool to me to see something from Bob's Red Mill so far afield. It's literally a big red mill, still in Milwaukie Oregon, here in the Portland area. My dad works pretty close to there and the smells coming from that place allegedly make it really hard to limit one's carb intake. From what I can tell, Bob is the real deal.
Hey Adam. Thanks for the excellent video. The presentation makes or breaks recipes on UA-cam and you knock it out of the park. Very engaging and to the point.
The difference between pre-grated cheese and fresh grated cheese is huge. The taste, texture, meltability, all are drastically improved on fresh grated.
Outstanding. I did this and the $7 AA out sound round 2.5 pound roast on sale at Superstore in Canada was as good as any wedding I’ve been at. Massive score !!!
I love how Adam makes these videos because they're so no nonsense. Each one is like I am going to make this This is how you start making this Some people do it a different way, but I do it this way. It's easier. You can do it the hard way too, but I'm doing it this way. I'm still making it. I'm done making it. You can eat it or do something else with it.
If you /really/ want to maximize the cheap, easy, and delicious, my aunt taught me this recipe for roast (intended for a beef roast, but works great on pork, too. I haven't tried a whole chicken with this recipe, but I plan on doing so). Pan sear your roast. Cover it in powdered ranch sauce mix and au jus mix. Dump it in a slow cooker/crockpot. Add some sliced banana peppers from a jar (my aunt's version has about a dozen slices. I've found dumping an entire jar's worth, juice and all, works like a charm). If there's no fat cap / a small fat cap, top with an entire slice of butter. Cook as suited by the size/cut of meat - I usually go with high for seven hours, but that's because I'm a gremlin who cooks roasts from frozen and rarely gets started on them early enough to use low.
McCormick puts out a wonderful white & black pepper whole pepper corn combo in its own little grinder! Once you try it, you will never go back to just plain black pepper corns!
Lovely, Adam! I don't eat meat so I usually watch your recipes for the sides, those potatoes looked fantastic. And as someone who doesn't eat meat, it's cool to learn more about the different cuts and stuff that I'm not familiar with.
But he still kept the mash that way and ate it, and said it was delicious... Nothing wrong with him acknowledging he missed the texture he was shooting for X)
How have you not hit 1.mill. Subscribers? You're cooking methods and ingredient variety. You're a great teacher, and I would love to try some of your recipes when I get older.
This recipe rocks! I followed it precisely. But, after the roast cooled I rolled it tightly in plastic wrap and foil then threw it in the fridge for a day. When I took it out and sliced it super thinly, I had the best roast beef sandwich of my life! It was divine and I will never buy deli roast beef again. Thank you!
okay, i made this today but with a 2-lb cut (it's what was on sale). it reached 133 in only 2 hours, and is amazingly delicious. i'm cooking eye of round this way from now on - thanks, adam!!
we made the beef and gravy today and they were great! so much better than the usual slow cooker method. thanks for sharing your recipe and method. my husband likes the way you explain things, which is impressive it you knew how little he listens 😂
Just did the long roast low temp thing with another cut of meat. I was really surprised how great it turned! I wasn't aiming for medium rare or anything in particular since I'm really new to cooking beef, but it was perfectly medium rare!
no, the green isn’t poison it’s chlorophyll which is harmless and tasteless. but when you see it it’s a sign that the potato has that poison you’re talking about
No that's cyanide and it is poisonous. Thankfully it degrades when cooking but only in temp >150 I think. Which is why you should never slow cook potatoes but who would even think of that
Hey Adam I'm making this right now with eye round steak I reassembled with butcher's twine with bacon on the top, I'll tell you how it turns out in about 5 hours. Edit: It went super super well, made a damn fine au jus too.
@@skinwalker69420 I see. I recently made an eye of round roast I got from Costco. Followed a recipe I found. Put it in oven at 500° for 15 min, then lowered to 300° for 35 min. Let rest 20 min, sliced a 1nch thick against the grain. Was slightly rare & tender, but chewy & lots of gristle. Roasted a few slices at 300° for 10 min, accidentally to medium. Came out drier, but easier to slice & chew
I gotta tell ya… I just followed this recipe and it was DELICIOUS- not only that but the left over roast beef was perfect. Thanks a bunch! I am hooked.
When I make eye of the round I brown it but then I cook it in a crockpot on low for eight hours with beef broth and red wine but your way looks really good! Yours looks like a high end roast all nice and pink like that. I usually make French dip sandwiches out of mine. I can’t wait to try your recipe!
I'm not gonna lie, my main takeaway from this video is "curly parsley is a purely decorative herb that is borderline inedible but looks pretty, so it comes across as cheap" and I use it accordingly.

Made this at a higher heat to reduce time and did a cognac gravy, very tasty. I finally found the secret to cheap beef, slow cooking. Never would have thought of this until watching this video.
It’s a similar story with brisket. Cheap cut, slow cooking, and you have a good meal.
Thanks so much for continuing to list both metric and US units. It really makes it more accessible (stops me from constantly checking what temp/weight that converts to)

Incredible!
For me, this one turned out 140*F in about 2.5-3hrs! It was a 3.11lbs eye round roast. Thankfully it was taken out in time to stop there, and tasted great. I think the difference was because it had a substantial taper to it-one end was about 1/5 the size of the other. The oven was set to 200*F, and according to a thermometer inside was at right about 175*F.

Thank you for teaching me about xanthan gum and how to use it. I bought some a long time ago and it’s just sat in my pantry because I forgot why I bought it and didn’t really know what to do with it.
Also, the eye roast is my favorite non-braised roast. I make it similarly to how you make yours but I dry brine it with kosher salt for about 24 hours so it’s seasoned throughout. (Dry brine for anyone who is curious: Coat with a couple tablespoons kosher salt and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use). I find that this roast makes the BEST lunch meat. When I make it for dinner, I only slice what were going to eat then wrap the rest of the roast in foil and refrigerate so it retains the juices. When you slice it cold you’ll see very little juice on the board. YUM!
I can't express my joy when you make comments like can't be bothered with white pepper. you are such a cook after my own heart, minimise the frills, and just make good food, in a more rustic way.
"Some people use white pepper, I cant be bothered with that." Inlove your cooking style sir. I've saved more of your recipes then anyone else. Thanks for making food videos that are open, honest, and accessible.

@wari6040 wari6040 no he didn't mean eat, you're the one whos dumb lmao
I've always felt eye of round has been under appreciated. I think it has a ”sirloin-y” flavor the bottom round does not have.
I cook mine at 425 degrees for 4-5 minutes a pound, turn off the oven and let it sit for an hour. Juicy and relatively tender when sliced thin.
You weren't wrong. Eye-of-round is crap. Bottom-round it the best cut.
@adam ragusea - I tried the whole thing and it was great. Might I suggest a Pepin-style tip? Dust the muffin tins with parmesan (or some other finely grated cheese, but something dry works great) after oiling it. Really helps with the release!
The night before Thanksgiving, my husband volunteered me to make this for his family. I had to make everything in an AirBnb with whatever pots and pans on hand. Many thanks for this video. Family loved the roast and mashed potatoes.
just ran into your channel, and got to say this meal came out mighty awesome. The au jus was completely delicious. love that mushroom trick, I used shitake. love learning something new especially when it comes to cooking. Potatoes where screaming at me to eat more so creamy cheesy delicious. I'll be watching more of your videos. Thanks a mill.
I don't always agree with your philosophy on cooking, or what I sense your politics may be, but you are the most real ass of internet cooks and you have never grifted or wasted our time. When I left my wife and the COVID stuff hit, I ended up cooking a LOT, and followed many of your recipes. Thanks Adam.

Thank you for using the latin name of the cut you use (M. semitendinosus), it makes things much easier to find equivalent cuts around the globe as different countries do have different cuts.

This is the silliest thing, but it's cool to me to see something from Bob's Red Mill so far afield. It's literally a big red mill, still in Milwaukie Oregon, here in the Portland area. My dad works pretty close to there and the smells coming from that place allegedly make it really hard to limit one's carb intake. From what I can tell, Bob is the real deal.
Hey Adam. Thanks for the excellent video. The presentation makes or breaks recipes on UA-cam and you knock it out of the park. Very engaging and to the point.

The difference between pre-grated cheese and fresh grated cheese is huge. The taste, texture, meltability, all are drastically improved on fresh grated.
Outstanding. I did this and the $7 AA out sound round 2.5 pound roast on sale at Superstore in Canada was as good as any wedding I’ve been at. Massive score !!!
I really liked the muffin pan idea for the potatoes. Maybe if you used those little paper muffin things, the potatoes might come out whole.
Real brits use that tray to make Yorkshire pudding
What you said was "stiffer than mashed potatoes" is what normal mashed potatoes are like in Ireland.

even vsauce can’t understand your comment
If you /really/ want to maximize the cheap, easy, and delicious, my aunt taught me this recipe for roast (intended for a beef roast, but works great on pork, too. I haven't tried a whole chicken with this recipe, but I plan on doing so).
Pan sear your roast.
Cover it in powdered ranch sauce mix and au jus mix.
Dump it in a slow cooker/crockpot.
Add some sliced banana peppers from a jar (my aunt's version has about a dozen slices. I've found dumping an entire jar's worth, juice and all, works like a charm).
If there's no fat cap / a small fat cap, top with an entire slice of butter.
Cook as suited by the size/cut of meat - I usually go with high for seven hours, but that's because I'm a gremlin who cooks roasts from frozen and rarely gets started on them early enough to use low.
McCormick puts out a wonderful white & black pepper whole pepper corn combo in its own little grinder! Once you try it, you will never go back to just plain black pepper corns!
Lovely, Adam! I don't eat meat so I usually watch your recipes for the sides, those potatoes looked fantastic. And as someone who doesn't eat meat, it's cool to learn more about the different cuts and stuff that I'm not familiar with.
Love the "Close Encounters" reference!

This recipe rocks! I followed it precisely. But, after the roast cooled I rolled it tightly in plastic wrap and foil then threw it in the fridge for a day. When I took it out and sliced it super thinly, I had the best roast beef sandwich of my life! It was divine and I will never buy deli roast beef again. Thank you!

okay, i made this today but with a 2-lb cut (it's what was on sale). it reached 133 in only 2 hours, and is amazingly delicious. i'm cooking eye of round this way from now on - thanks, adam!!
we made the beef and gravy today and they were great! so much better than the usual slow cooker method. thanks for sharing your recipe and method. my husband likes the way you explain things, which is impressive it you knew how little he listens 😂
I legitimately didn't know potatoes could rot from the inside and now that I do I'll never cook them whole again.
Cutting them up reduces cooking time anyway, so you win either way.

Yeah, I liked that too. Beats the hell out of fishing through a cupboard for something that you can't see. 🤓🍻
Just did the long roast low temp thing with another cut of meat. I was really surprised how great it turned! I wasn't aiming for medium rare or anything in particular since I'm really new to cooking beef, but it was perfectly medium rare!
I love mushroom powder. I’ve used it for years with butter as a starter for my for my chicken chili
no, the green isn’t poison it’s chlorophyll which is harmless and tasteless. but when you see it it’s a sign that the potato has that poison you’re talking about
*POISONOUS POTATO*
No that's cyanide and it is poisonous. Thankfully it degrades when cooking but only in temp >150 I think. Which is why you should never slow cook potatoes but who would even think of that
Torb 1 Trick why would a potato develop chlorophyll if the tuber portion is supposed to be underground, away from sunlight?
Adam Nope because it was too close to sunlight, look it up
Adam Nope when a potato I’d closer to the surface of the dirt it can get sunlight and develop chlorophyll aka the “poison” green stuff.
Hey Adam I'm making this right now with eye round steak I reassembled with butcher's twine with bacon on the top, I'll tell you how it turns out in about 5 hours.
Edit: It went super super well, made a damn fine au jus too.
how'd it go?
@@fwooooosh3675 it went very well, the roast was super duper tender and made the best damn au jus I have ever tasted.
@@skinwalker69420 so was it tender but chewy/full of gristle even when sliced very thinly?
@@dragonsamurai6958 that would be the mark of very, very cheap meat. No, it didn’t go like that. It was very delicious.
@@skinwalker69420 I see. I recently made an eye of round roast I got from Costco. Followed a recipe I found. Put it in oven at 500° for 15 min, then lowered to 300° for 35 min. Let rest 20 min, sliced a 1nch thick against the grain. Was slightly rare & tender, but chewy & lots of gristle. Roasted a few slices at 300° for 10 min, accidentally to medium. Came out drier, but easier to slice & chew

I'm not gonna lie, my main takeaway from this video is "curly parsley is a purely decorative herb that is borderline inedible but looks pretty, so it comes across as cheap" and I use it accordingly.
I sometimes serve those 20 ingredient brownies from Alvin Zhou topped with homemade whipped cream, caramel sauce, and a sprig of curly parsley. It's hilarious.
