I messed up Bottom round roast
Help!! Although I read many recipes, I still messed up cooking bottom round roast. It tasted fine, but was tough. I cooked it low 250/200/175 and finally for 2 hours...it never became tender.
What did I do wrong?

Heavily salt the roast, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 24 hours (I lard it with garlic).
Unwrap, place into 225 deg oven with temperature probe, cook to 115 deg, turn off oven leave roast in oven until 125 deg for med rare
It can probably be saved and used for sandwiches or soup.
Perhaps cook it in a broth laced with good-flavored fat. Once done, remove meat from broth, then slice for sandwiches or cut in large dice for soups or salads.
Save the beef broth for other uses.
