A raw round steak in a pan
A round steak is a cut from the round section of a steer or heifer, and may be known as a "rump steak" in the United Kingdom. Specifically, a round steak is the eye round, bottom round, and top round still connected together. This is a lean cut and it is moderately tough. Lack of fat and marbling makes round dry out when cooked with dry-heat cooking methods like roasting or grilling. Round steak is commonly prepared with slow moist-heat methods including braising to tenderize the meat and maintain moisture. The cut is often sliced thin, then dryed and/or smoked at low temperature to make jerky.
