When I bought grassfed cow a few months ago one of the cuts was an eye round roast weighing .9 pounds.  I’ve only ever roasted large eye rounds, so I wasn’t very sure what to do with the eye round.  I decided to cut it into two steaks and cook it this way.  It worked very well and looked a lot like filet mignon.  The marinade did help to tenderize the meat and we enjoyed the taste as well.  The marinade recipe is from TheMeatSource.com.
