Bottom round roast is a lean, flavorful cut from the rear leg of the cow, perfect for slow-cooked meals that deliver tender, savory results. Its balance of lean meat and subtle marbling makes it ideal for roasting, braising, or slow-cooker recipes.

This bottom round roast comes from our Dexter cattle, a heritage breed well-suited to pasture-based systems. Raised at Growing Roots Farm using rotational grazing practices, our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, producing clean, naturally flavorful meat with excellent texture.

Cooking Suggestions & Temperature Guidance

Bottom round roast benefits from low-and-slow cooking methods:

• Best methods: Oven roast, braise, Dutch oven, or slow cooker

• Seasoning: Salt, pepper, garlic, herbs, or a marinade to enhance tenderness

• Finish: Rest 10–15 minutes before slicing

Internal Temperature (for tenderness):

• Medium-rare (for slicing): 130–135°F, then rest

• Medium (for slightly firmer texture): 140–145°F

• Well-done / pull-apart tender: 195–205°F

For best results, cook slowly and slice thin against the grain.
