About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Top round steaks are sliced from the inside of the hind leg. They are lean and mildly flavored with a bit of chew. They respond well to marinades, tenderizing, or slow cooking. They are used for London broil, Swiss steak, chicken-fried steak, stir-fries, and fajitas. Thin slices cook fast, and thick slices take well to a marinade.

Cook’s tipMarinate or tenderize first, cook to at least 145°F, rest three minutes, and slice thin across the grain.
