COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Since top round is a lean cut, it benefits from a marinade to add flavor and tenderness before broiling.
- 2Do not overcook. Broil to medium-rare (135°F / 57°C) for the best texture, as it can become tough and dry if cooked well-done.
- 3Always let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a more flavorful and moist result.
- 4Slice the steak thinly against the grain to break up the long muscle fibers, making it significantly more tender to chew.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store cooked steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and consume within 3-4 days.
- For longer storage, wrap the steak tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze at 0°F (-18°C) for up to 3 months.

Is broiled choice top round beef steak gluten-free?
Plain beef is naturally gluten-free. However, if you use store-bought marinades, spice rubs, or sauces during the broiling process, you must check the labels for hidden gluten ingredients like soy sauce or malt vinegar.
What is the best way to broil a top round steak?
Place the steak on a broiler pan 3-4 inches from the heat source. Broil for about 6-9 minutes per side depending on thickness, using a meat thermometer to reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare.
What does top round steak taste like?
Top round has a deep, beefy flavor but is leaner and tougher than premium cuts like tenderloin. Because it is less fatty, it is best served thinly sliced against the grain to ensure it is easier to chew.
How should I store leftover broiled steak?
Store cooked steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months, though the texture may become slightly drier upon thawing.
How can I make top round steak more tender?
Since top round is a leaner muscle, it benefits greatly from an acidic marinade (using vinegar, lemon juice, or wine) for several hours before broiling. Slicing it very thin across the muscle fibers after cooking also significantly improves tenderness.
How do I know if the steak has gone bad?
Fresh steak should be reddish; if it turns grey or greenish and develops a slimy texture or a sour, off-putting smell, it has spoiled. Always check the 'use-by' date and discard any meat that exhibits these signs.
