Instructions for Grilling Beef Round Top Round Steak

The top round steak comes from the rear portion of the cow, known as the round primal. It is a very lean cut of beef, and therefore benefits from a long marinade before grilling in order to tenderize the meat and compensate for lack of moisture in the cooking process. To further prevent toughness and dryness, it is important to only cook top round steak to medium rare, and to slice against the grain after a period of rest.
