Questions about Bottom round steak
How do you cook bottom round steak so it isn’t tough?
For a tender result, braise it gently in stock or sauce, covered, for about 2–3 hours, until it yields easily to a fork. For quick cooking, slice it thinly across the grain, marinate it, then sear the strips over high heat.
Can you grill bottom round steak?
Yes, but its leanness makes it easy to dry out. Marinate it first, grill it quickly over high heat, and slice it thinly across the grain; for a whole steak, cook to 63 °C and rest for at least 3 minutes.
How should you store bottom round steak?
Keep it refrigerated in its original wrapping and use it by the date on the pack. Once cooked, refrigerate it in a covered container within 2 hours and eat within 3–4 days, or freeze it.
What dishes work well with bottom round steak?
It suits slow-cooked dishes such as beef stew and pot roast, where moist heat softens the firm cut. Thinly sliced cooked steak also works in sandwiches or salads.
What can you use instead of bottom round steak?
Top round steak is a close substitute for grilling or quick searing; slice either cut across the grain. For a slow-cooked roast, bottom round roast is a more direct alternative.
How does bottom round steak compare with top round steak?
Top round steak is leaner in the listed comparison: it has 3.66 g fat per 100 g, compared with 12 g in bottom round steak. Both are firm cuts from the hindquarter and benefit from slicing across the grain.
