"What is the difference between top round, eye round and bottom round? If something calls for top round, can I substitute one of the others?"
Those three cuts are all from the leg (round) of the cow, are very lean and not that tender. High Choice, or Prime grades of these cuts can be dry roasted and come out decent, if not over cooked. For all intents and purposes, yes, they can be substituted for each other in most recipes. The Eye round will be tougher than other two. Hope this helps?

The eye does make some darned fine jerky, however. The fibers are long and there is next to no fat, just a little silverskin.
