Round steak

A round steak is a cut from the round section of a steer or heifer. Specifically, this steak includes an eye round, bottom round, and top round. This is a lean cut, and is moderately tough. Lack of fat and marbling does not allow round steak to tenderize quickly, or of its own components. Commonly cooked through slow moist methods including braising in order to tenderize the meat.
