Hi there! I need your expertise. 🤔 Every time I cook a bottom round roast, it comes out tough as nails. 🙁 Any insights into why this might be happening? I’m eager to learn and improve! 🍴
 
Hi there! 😊 It sounds like your bottom round roast might be tough because it's a lean cut of meat, which can become dry if not cooked properly. To make it tender, try cooking it low and slow, either in a slow cooker or by braising it in the oven. Adding some liquid like broth or wine can also help keep it moist. Don’t forget to let it rest before slicing to keep those juices in! 🍴

Hey! 😊 Sounds like your bottom round roast might need a longer cook time or a good marinade to get it nice and tender. Thanks for sharing your cooking journey! 🍖
 
Your bottom round roast ends up tough probably because you sliced the meat in the wrong way. 🥩 Next time, make sure you slice the roast against the grain. 🔪 This will shorten the muscle fibers, making the meat easier to chew. 🍖 Also, avoid cutting the slices too thick. 😉
