How long should you cook round steak?

* Thickness: A thin round steak will cook much faster than a thick one.

* Cooking Method: A steak cooked in a skillet will cook faster than one braised in the oven.

* Desired Doneness: Do you want your round steak rare, medium, or well-done?

Instead of giving you a specific time, here's how to cook round steak properly:

1. Choose your cooking method:

* Pan-frying: Great for thin round steaks. Season well, sear in hot oil, then reduce heat and cook to your desired doneness.

* Braising: Best for thicker cuts. Brown the steak, then simmer in liquid for a long time until tender.

* Slow Cooking: A great way to make round steak incredibly tender. Simply season the steak, add it to your slow cooker with liquid, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

2. Use a meat thermometer: This is the most reliable way to ensure your steak is cooked to your liking. Here's a general guide:

* Rare: 125°F (52°C)

* Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)

* Medium: 140°F (60°C)

* Medium-well: 150°F (66°C)

* Well-done: 160°F (71°C)

3. Let your steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Remember, round steak is a tougher cut of meat, so it benefits from long, slow cooking methods. Don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you!
