WHERE THE CUT COMES FROM

About Top Rounds

The beef top round is a lean, boneless cut taken from the inside of the rear leg (round primal) of the cow. Known for its firm texture and mild beef flavor, it’s commonly used for roast beef, London broil, and thinly sliced steak dishes. While not as naturally tender as premium cuts, it’s ideal for marinating, slow roasting, or slicing thin for stir-fries and sandwiches. Its low fat content and affordability make it a popular choice for both home cooks and large-scale food prep.
