Beef Bottom Round Roast
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.
