What is Round Steak?

  • Round steak is a cut of beef that comes from the round, which is the hind leg of the cow. It is a lean cut of meat with a relatively low fat content.

Round steak can be cooked in various ways, depending on your preference. It is often best when cooked using moist heat methods such as braising, stewing, or slow cooking since it is a more tough cut of meat.

It is commonly used in recipes such as beef stew, pot roast, Swiss steak, and beef stir-fry. It can also be sliced thin for use in sandwiches like Philly cheesesteaks or used for making beef jerky.

So try out one of these 20+ delicious recipes today and enjoy!

Can I Substitute Round Steak with Another Cut of Meat?

Yes, you can substitute round steak with other cuts that are similar in texture and thickness. Some possible substitutes include top round steak, bottom round steak, eye of round steak, or flank steak. However, keep in mind that each cut has its own characteristics, so the cooking method and time may need to be adjusted accordingly.

How To Store Round Steak
