USDA Choice top round steak is a thick, versatile lean beef cut from the round primal, located at the rear of the animal. This boneless steak is also known as inside round steak or London broil. The top round is one of the leanest beef cuts available, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers while still delivering rich beef flavor and high-quality protein.

The cut comes from muscles used for movement, which makes it naturally lean but less tender than premium cuts. It benefits from proper cooking techniques such as grilling, broiling, marinating, or slow-cooking to bring out its best qualities. Top round steak is ideal for marinated preparations, stir-fries, thin-sliced applications, and braising. When cooked properly, it provides exceptional value as an everyday protein option.
